LEGO artists from around the world are coming together to help rebuild Ukraine, amid the nation’s ongoing war with Russia. They've partnered up with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's official fundraising platform, UNITED24, to create a series of unique LEGO sets that capture a handful of the country's architectural marvels. But the special sets aren't available in stores. Instead, you can win them through a raffle by making a $24 donation. The funds raised will go directly towards rebuilding a school in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, which was hit by a Russian missile on 11 October 2022. There are 15 se...

La Bellez Común (The Common Beauty) makes a case for a bygone age when shop fronts were a work of art in themselves as artisans were employed to attract customers. The book was the brainchild of two architects, Luis Fernández-Galido and Javier Sánchez Bellver, who sought to record the most picturesque shop fronts for history. The project was completed between 1977-78 but at the time it was not published. It was finally put into print earlier this year, more than four decades on, and has become an unlikely best seller. It is easy, however, to see why the book has created such a stir. Every page...

The Philippe Bettan Gallery in Lyon, France has opened a new exhibition featuring the works of young Iranian painter Elham Etemadi, curated by artistic director Aida Mojallal. Etemadi, who has exhibited her art in galleries around the world, finds her paintings subconsciously influenced by the changes and events in her homeland.

"This issue has not always been directly and explicitly present in my works, but I cannot say it has not had an i...

The exterior of the Canada pavilion at the Venice Biennale is draped with hundreds of blue-beaded strings suspended from the roof lintels and cascading down the brickwork walls. Inside are thousands more in sunset hues veiling the pavilion interior. The strings are threaded with minute seed beads - tiny objects that carry a weighty history. Artist Kapwani Kiwanga explores the pivotal role of these Murano-made glass beads in the history of global trade and their “complex legacy”. But for an installation set in Venice, there is surprisingly little acknowledgement of the significance of seed bead...

King Charles III has unveiled the first completed portrait of the monarch since he assumed the throne. The vivid, larger-than-life image depicts him in the bright red uniform of the Welsh Guards against a background of similar hues. Artist Jonathan Yeo began the portrait more than a year before Charles became king, with a sitting at the then-Prince of Wales’ Highgrove estate in June 2021. The last sitting took place in November 2023 at Clarence House, one of the king’s residences in London. The painting captures the king with his hands clasped atop the hilt of his sword and a butterfly flittin...
