Our artist for the day is special and gifted in the real sense of the term.

Stephen Wiltshire, is a London-based artist who paints absolutely breath-taking detailed cityscapes.The catch with this gifted artist-cum-musician is he takes these small 20-minute helicopter rides or simply views city landscapes and architecture to reproduce it on canvass. And mind you these are not miniatures or hang-on portraits, but full fledged tapestry-sized drawing sheets.

While reviewing and reading about his works online, what baffled me the most was how people kept highlighting his autism in the course of his work. Personally, for me, Stephen's works speak so much for his talent that his "being special" should not really matter.

A connoisseur of modern art and culture, Michael Wolf is a photographer who captures the contemporary urban landscapes, both in the East and the West.

Michael's work is the result of his cross cultural upbringing.

Born in the Germany, he grew up in the US and Canada, studied photography in Germany again, only to pursue a long drawn career in the fiels in Asia.

To tag his body of work singularly, is hard but his themes mostly hark on graphic representation of cities and their changing landscape, architecture and so on.

Starting off as a photojournalist with a German Magazine, he chanced upon his first project in China's toy factory. Touring the flea markets, he collected nearly 20,000 toys "made in China" for an installation- calling it the "Real Toy Story". The work brought out the reality of factory system and West's unending gloabalization fetish.
