These UK Young Artists are the next generation of creativity.
A new wave of young, British artists are tackling everything from technology to politics, gender to the urban landscape. With the rise of Instagram, you often won't even need to go to a gallery to see their work. Here are the ones to watch.
1. Dan price
Self taught digital artist Dan Price, who is known on Instagram as @deepeyart has begun study at Nottingham Trent University. One of his most favourited work is ‘Boy’s Can’t Wear Pink’, which is a series of digitally painted self portraits that send a message about toxic masculinity and sexism in today’s society. His charming use of colour and co-operation of three self-portraits opens up his viewer’s eyes to consider the context of the work, and what the use of colour symbolizes.
2. Herfa Thompson
Thompson’s work ‘London Filed Lido’ is the first in an ongoing series acrylic and watercolour paintings on canvas exploring wild swimming in Britain with memories of swimming in Martinique and Zambia. She graduated from Sculpture and Environmental Art from The Glasgow School of Art in 2017. You can explore more of her art work on her Instagram - @herfaaaaa

5. Adam Iraki

new york city woman loses her temper, causes black hole to swallow her entire town Anna, 26, of New York City, DC was in the middle of an argument with a colleague when her temper got so out of control, it formed a small black hole, which demolished the vast majority of her neighborhood. "I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs. "There are a lot of people and things I could have eradicated from my life in this way."

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
