  • Welcome to the world’s most expensive hotel suite — a stunning two-storey palace in the sky overlooking the Las Vegas strip, costing $100,000-a-night. The Palms has just unveiled the jewel in the crown of its ongoing $690million refurbishment of the casino resort — the Empathy Suite, a Sky Villa designed by and featuring the works of world-renowned English artist Damien Hirst, aged 53. The Empathy Suite sprawls over 9,000 square-feet and two floor and features a butterfly-motif mosaic tiled pool overlooking the strip, a vast collection of art including any original works by Hirst, a 13-seat curved glass bar top encrusting medical waste art, along with two lounge and theater areas that accommodate up to 52 guests. There’s also Hirst-desined furniture, drapery, carpeting and serpentine-shaped Italian leather sofas with the butterfly motif. Above the centre bar is Hirst’s Here for a Good Time, Not a Long Time (2018) art piece – a marlin skeleton in a vitrine and taxidermy marlin in another. The opulent dining area seats eight people, while both master bedrooms come complete with California-King beds, massive closets and bathrooms with double sinks and theatrical lighting. The villa also boasts a powder room, a salt healing room, a fitness center and two massage rooms, while the outdoor area features a pool and panoramic views of Sin City. A stay at the suite — which is reserved for millionaire high-roller gamblers, also involves a highly personalised and exclusive guest experience while at the property, including 24-hour butler service, over-the-top welcome amenities and a private behind-the-scenes art tour of the suite and entire property. There’s also a chauffeured car service throughout the stay and A-list access to Palms’ premier amenities such as KAOS Dayclub & Nightclub, the Pearl Concert Theater and the Palms’ world-class recording studio and a $10,000 credit to use at the resort. The Sky Villa contains six original works from Hirst including

  • August 8, 2017 - Chjicago, Illinois, USA - On August 8, 2017, the iconic sculpture designed by Pablo Picasso was rededicated 50 years after its unveiling.  Leaders of the Chicago arts and culture community presented and entertained the large gathering at the Chicago Civic Center where this sculpture resides.   This was Picasso's first large scale sculpture created for a city in the U.S. He gave it as a gift to the City which he had never visited.  There is controversy over what is the subject of the sculpture, Some say an Afghan dog.  Others say the profile of a woman.  At first, Chicagoans didn't know what to make of this steel art piece which was made out of steel like the Civic Center highrise office building. Eventually, the City embraced the sculpture as a symbol of Chicago. (Credit Image: © Karen I. Hirsch via ZUMA Wire)

  • April 29, 2019 - London, United Kingdom - New Banksy 'masterpiece' on a wall in Marble Arch...A new piece of 'Banksy' artwork left after the Extinction Rebellion protesters left Marble Arch last week could be worth £1 million. If genuine - and art experts claim it is definitely him - it could sell for around £1million, but only if it can be removed. Westminster Council have now placed a protective perspex plate over the piece of street art as it had already been the subject of some defacement with red and blue writing and a yellow 'smiley' leaflet stuck to the wall.

  • He's nailed it. String artist Ben Koracevic creates these incredible works of art - using just cord and nails. The London-based creative winds thousands of metres of string around tens of thousands of nails to create what he calls 'stringometry'. Among his works are a huge portrait of Hollywood star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Keanu Reeves as his John Wick action hero character. He has also created a likeness of Batman baddie The Joker - as played by Joaquin Phoenix in 2019 movie, Joker, as well as animals including a lion and monkeys and guitarist Slash from Guns N' Roses. He only started doing 'string art' nine months ago after watching a video of someone else showing off their skills. "I was completed fascinated with the rare art form," he said. "Developing my skill and ability to replicate what I witnessed became an obsession and I soon found every spare hour being invested into practising." The self-taught artist - who holds a science degree - has since quit his job and cashed in his life savings to follow his dream. He added: "I am quite particular on the pieces I choose. "It is just an instinct where I know the image will look good in string. "It is a very time consuming process which is a quality I enjoy. I love the mental endurance and patience needed to complete a piece to high quality. "Art is a universal language where the work does all the talking!" Ben uses a grid system overlapping a photo or sketch. He then upscales that on to a wooden canvas, before "meticulously referencing" nails to mark a foundation and an outline for the string. He winds the string between the nails to create a likeness, using more string to create darker shadows and more detail. He has used between 6,000 and 30,000 nails on individual pieces - and some contain more than 3,000 metres of string. And he can spend as much as 500 hours alone creating one piece.

The self-taught artist - who holds a science degree - has since quit his job and cashed in his life savings to follow his dream. He added: "I am quite particular on the pieces I choose. "It is just an instinct where I know the image will look good in string. "It is a very time consuming process which is a quality I enjoy. I love the mental endurance and patience needed to complete a piece to high quality. "Art is a universal language where the work does all the talking!" Ben uses a grid system overlapping a photo or sketch. He then upscales that on to a wooden canvas, before "meticulously referencing" nails to mark a foundation and an outline for the string. He winds the string between the nails to create a likeness, using more string to create darker shadows and more detail. He has used between 6,000 and 30,000 nails on individual pieces - and some contain more than 3,000 metres of string. And he can spend as much as 500 hours alone creating one piece.

  • He's nailed it. String artist Ben Koracevic creates these incredible works of art - using just cord and nails. The London-based creative winds thousands of metres of string around tens of thousands of nails to create what he calls 'stringometry'. Among his works are a huge portrait of Hollywood star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Keanu Reeves as his John Wick action hero character. He has also created a likeness of Batman baddie The Joker - as played by Joaquin Phoenix in 2019 movie, Joker, as well as animals including a lion and monkeys and guitarist Slash from Guns N' Roses.

  • August 8, 2017 - Chicago, Illinois, USA - On August 8, 2017, the iconic sculpture designed by Pablo Picasso was rededicated 50 years after its unveiling.  Leaders of the Chicago arts and culture community presented and entertained the large gathering at the Chicago Civic Center where this sculpture resides.   This was Picasso's first large scale sculpture created for a city in the U.S. He gave it as a gift to the City which he had never visited.  There is controversy over what is the subject of the sculpture, Some say an Afghan dog.  Others say the profile of a woman.  At first, Chicagoans didn't know what to make of this steel art piece which was made out of steel like the Civic Center highrise office building. Eventually, the City embraced the sculpture as a symbol of Chicago. ..Pictured: The media gathers to document this rededication event. (Credit Image: © Karen I. Hirsch via ZUMA Wire)

  • May 1, 2019 - Jalal Aslan, 71, manufacture with his sons traditional handmade and coloured tiles in his workshop in the West Bank city of Nablus.  The Aslan factory in Nablus remains the only one that practice the skill of producing traditional Palestinian tiles in the West Bank. Jalal has been working in the manufacturing of handmade and coloured tiles (Shami tiles) for nearly 50 years practising a traditional craft passed through his family generations and believed to have originated in the Levant. The Aslan family used to own a small tile factory in Jaffa, but after the 1948 war they began working in Nablus, since the family was of Nabulsi origin and they also owned another factory in the city. Each Shami tile is carefully crafted and can be considered a piece of art in itself as well as a fragment of Palestinian heritage (Credit Image: © Mohammed Turabi/IMAGESLIVE via ZUMA Wire)

''I will not resign,'' he said. ''I know what I did and I know the correctness of my actions,'' he said in a hard speech.

  • Portraits of perfection: No, they're not photos, but pencil drawings by a young genius from a tough council estate..Stare closely at the pictures on this page. What do you think it took to create these beautiful images of Amy Winehouse, Mother Teresa, Princess Diana and Rihanna? An expensive camera, a precision lens, hours of trial and error from a skilled photographer?.Well, the answer is none of the above..All of these extraordinarily detailed pictures are pencil drawings, created purely by hand Ñ with no digital trickery Ñ by British artist Kelvin Okafor, whose only tools are a set of pencils, a piece of paper and the occasional stick of charcoal (though most of the pictures donÕt even require that). Yet no matter how closely one looks, thereÕs not a pencil line in sight..The artistÕs story is almost as sensational as the pictures he has been producing since he was a teenager who was too poor to leave his house to socialise. Instead of drinking and clubbing, Ofakor, now 27, stayed at home in Tottenham, North London, seeking solace in drawing. Now it looks as if heÕs on his way to fame and fortune..Today, an exhibition of his work opens at LondonÕs Science Museum Ñ and already some of his portraits are changing hands for £10,000 apiece. This week, a portrait he drew of King Hussein of Jordan is to be presented to the late monarchÕs widow, Queen Noor..Anyone can commission a portrait, though he will charge anything from £800 to £3,000 for his work. He says he prefers to work from photographs rather than real life Ñ partly because of the length of time he spends on each picture..So how does Okafor create these incredible works of art? ÔBefore I start drawing, I spend a few hours Ñ even a few days Ñ analysing the face from every angle. I usually start with the eyes. From there, I make the whole shape of the face and I work in the detail..ÔI draw in sections. IÕm right-handed so I work from left to r
