Michael Murphy is a master when it comes to optical illusion. His most recent work, The Immigrant , is a three-dimensional composition made of 2,300 black wooden spheres suspended with translucent fibers. When you view the sculpture from the right angle, the seemingly chaotic array of objects suddenly aligns to form an image of Michael's partner Natasha Vladimirova. The imagery was inspired by the contributions immigrants make in enriching the society and economy. Natasha is an immigrant and it is with her help that the artwork was made possible. Michael studied sculpture at Kent State University and received his masters degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The Brooklyn-based artist became famous when he created the first fine art portraits of Barack Obama during his 2007 presidential campaign. His work has been featured in various publications and websites and can be seen in numerous permanent installations around the globe.

Adobe Fresco is now available on the iPad and it's free... sort of. Android and Windows users will have to wait a little bit longer. Creative Cloud subscribers can use the painting and illustration app for no additional cost while others can download a free version that has limited access to certain things like brushes, exporting and future updates. A standalone version of Fresco is also available for purchase at $9.99 a month, which comes with six months for free if you sign up by December 31st. Kyle Webster, who works as senior design evangelist at Adobe, shares his thoughts on the app: "I know that professional artists will find a lot to love in Fresco. But I'm just as eager to have kids and people who have never thought of themselves as artists try it. Fresco on iPad lets you experiment with materials that most novices would never have access to. You can try out different kinds of media and different techniques and if things don't turn out the way yo...

Somewhere in the back room of our memories Elle Fanning is still a child star. She's radiant and carefree—a cheerful little girl who brings sunshine to everyone. At the age of nine, Elle landed the lead role on Phoebe in Wonderland. Since then, she has continued to act, taking supporting roles in films. Her breakthrough came in 2011 with her starring role in Super 8, for which her performance was praised by critics. Here's Elle on the cover of Tatler 's November issue . She looks stunning. But at first glance, you probably wouldn't have recognized her. Maybe it's the result of the makeup, lighting, or the colorful headscarf she's wearing, but the Neon Demon star looks much different than the actress fans are used to seeing. Tatler 's November 2019 issue hits newsstands October 3rd.

It's not every day you get to jump, crawl, walk, and play on a giant hammock slash trampoline-like installation. But kids (and adults) who visit Exhibit Columbus have a chance to do just that. Titled Into the Hedge , the massive piece features 130 trees covered in pink, yellow and blue nylon webbing. After the exhibition is over, the trees will be planted in a garden and the woven material will be used to make bags. The gabions, mulch, limestone and other parts that comprise the piece will all be recycled into local infrastructure projects. Exhibit Columbus features 18 site-specific installations by designers, architects, artists, and academics from across the United States and Mexico. The event runs until December 1, 2019.

Dressed in his trademark parka, former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher participates in Vogue's 73 Questions series while taking a brisk walk through London's Hampstead Heath. The popular video segment is normally rehearsed, with several takes. But Liam's outdoor interview was shot just once with no rehearsal and no advance peek at the questionnaire.

Imagine if Napoleon Bonaparte had an Instagram account, or if Pauline de Broglie was on Twitter. In his upcoming solo exhibition at Galerie Bessiéres in France, Denver-based artist Shawn Huckins satirically juxtaposes French history with internet culture.  Titled Happy Go Lucky , the collection features paintings based on 18th and 19th century portraits by French artists which Shawn painstakingly copied by hand. Superimposed over the images are hand-painted texts and symbols that remind us how our language is currently being radically transformed.         For example, Shawn recreates Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres's The Valpinçon Bather with the words PLZ DELETE ME. Bashi-Bazouk , painted by Jean-Léon Gérôme in 1869, is embellished with the words M K WHTEVR. Renoir's Pére Fournaise gets the Internet slang LMAO printed across the old man's face. Happy Go Lucky is opening at Galerie Bessiéres on October 4, 2019, and wil...
