Aakash Nihalani at VOLTA NY 2012 via Carmichael Gallery, Los Angeles

by creativeplacement

I’ve been a fan of Aakash Nihalani for quite awhile now — but only from the standpoint of my voyeuristic joy when happening upon his work online. I love the pops of color he brings to the street and the fun geometry and circumstance of his playful imagination. But, this is the first time I’ve [...]

Art Basel Miami Beach 2011 | Miami Convention Center | South Beach

I can’t imagine how many people cover the main event at Art Basel Miami Beach as reporters or photojournalists.
