Tony Kelly is a fine art photographer and director with an acute penchant for opulence and over-indulgence. The saturated colors, the outlandish settings and the absurd situations portrayed in his work give viewers the escapism and ok-boomer fantasies they never knew they needed. Regardless, Kelly’s work dramatically portrays the decadence that comes with excessive luxury and wealth: a theme that could not ring truer today with the acute wealth disparity we’re currently experiencing around the world.

Starting off as a successful musician, including collaborations with The Beatles and Cher amongst others, Freeman moved on to photography with a portfolio so eclectic, one could not even fathom defining him as an artist.

Although Myriam Boulos’ lens seems purely observational, her mission to shed light on the marginalized and the misunderstood by means of overexposure positions her not only as a notorious Lebanese photographer, but also as an activist. Bold, daring, and hopelessly romantic, her images consistently strike a sensitive chord as she forces society to look at itself in the mirror when it would rather look away.
I like imagining how we could live in harmony and showcasing the beauty already surrounding us on this planet. I find beauty everywhere: in geometric architecture, in vast landscapes, in a weirdly shaped corner of a room. I think the power of artists is the ability to re-envision every day scenarios in a way no one else would have imagined. When we face trouble as a society we must re-imagine how we communicate, treat people; how we operate as a whole.
