Phillipe Ramette Work from is oeuvre “Philippe Ramette has always appeared to me as a kind of flying saucer in the contested landscape of contemporary art.

Max Marshall Work from Fabulous Views. “In the series Fabulous Views, I examine through photography how we define nature, and how that idea of nature coexists with human interaction.
