The Brazilian-born, Brooklyn-based artist Vik Muniz makes witty, conceptually driven, photography-based work. He has been known to re-create well-known works of art (such as Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa") and pop-culture images (such as iconic photographs of Hollywood stars) using unexpected materials, from caviar and chocolate syrup to diamonds and junk. Muniz will present new work in a solo exhibition this October at Rena Bransten Gallery in San Francisco. He has had other solo exhibitions recently in New York, Mexico City, Tokyo, Moscow, and Montreal.
