London, United Kingdom — December 29, 2025 — London-based homeware brand Nauradika has announced an expanded lighting collection that reinterprets iconic mid-century and retro styles through modern technology. The release reflects a growing interest in heritage-inspired interiors that maintain visual character while meeting today’s expectations for efficiency and control.

The collection includes updated ceiling fixtures, pendants, and lamps that preserve classic geometry while integrating LED systems, dimmable functionality, and smart compatibility. Mid-century design remains influential due to its emphasis on proportion, clarity, and usability. Nauradika’s approach maintains these principles while adapting lighting performance for modern residential and commercial environments, including updated options such as a mid century modern ceiling lamp designed for flexible illumination. Integrating Technology Without Altering Aesthetic Identity “Our aim was to respect the visual language of retro lighting while improving how it performs in modern homes,” said Jean-Charles Lacoste, spokesperson for Nauradika. “These designs are intended for everyday use, and modern technology allows that without changing their character.” Each fixture is engineered with energy-efficient LED components rated for extended use and built using durable materials selected for longevity. Smart features allow users to adjust brightness and tone to support different settings, from focused workspaces to relaxed living areas. Expanding Influence From Japanese-Inspired Lighting The collection also incorporates softer forms influenced by japanese style lighting , emphasizing balance, material simplicity, and diffused illumination. Several designs reference the calm aesthetic of a japan paper lamp , offering warm, ambient light suited to bedrooms, lounges, and minimalist interiors. A Curated Online Experience for Designers and Homeowners Nauradika presents its lighting range through a curated online platform that supports architects, designers, and homeowners planning renovation or furnishing projects. The structure emphasizes clarity, allowing users to explore lighting alongside complementary homeware with consistent design language. About Nauradika Founded in 2022, Nauradika is a London-based homeware brand specializing in lighting and interior pieces that bridge classic design with modern living.

Brett Campbell Announces 2026 Art Recommendations, Featuring Top U.S. and International Artists and Galleries
Bringing Art Together Through Social Media With over 500,000 followers, Brett Campbell has established himself as a trusted voice in the art world. He provides a unique and authentic approach to art recommendations, based on his personal relationships with artists and galleries, as well as his direct interactions with collectors. He doesn’t just share beautiful pieces — he shares the stories behind the works, offering insight into the motivations and emotions that drive the artists. By doing so, he educates his audience and offers a curated selection of art that goes beyond aesthetics and speaks to the soul. Brett’s Recommendations for 2026 Brett’s recommendations for 2026 focus on both established and emerging artists, as he believes there is great upside potential for both, as these artists represent emerging trends, cultural norms, and societal expectations during a period in history that is in great flux. As a collector and influencer, Brett’s mission is to help connect artists and galleries with collectors who understand the deeper significance of the work, not just its aesthetic appeal. Art is about more than beauty — it’s about evoking emotions, sparking dialogue, and challenging the status quo. In Brett’s view, art forces us to engage with a moment in time, to share in the soul of the artist, and to challenge history as it’s shaped by the opinions of critics. Whether established or emerging, the artists and galleries in Brett’s recommendations are creating work that speaks to these cultural and societal shifts. Collectors can find pieces that resonate with them on a deeply personal level, whether through visual impact or the energy behind the work itself. As Brett says, “The energy that comes from the soul of the artist and the subject matter of the time will ultimately create the energy of your home.” Brett’s focus is on helping collectors get to know the artist and, in doing so, get to know themselves. A home absorbs the energy of the art within it, creating a space of individuality, peace, and sanctum. Art should be something that reflects who you are and what is important to you, helping to create a living space that feels deeply personal. U.S. Artists Brett’s recommended U.S. artists for 2026 include Stephen Vollo, Dan Witz, Vincent Giarrano, John Lange, Lorra Kurtz, Michael Massaia, Charles Levier, Adam Trest, Max Seckel, Michele Melcher, Leeah Joo, Hunt Slonem, Brian Cobbel, E2 (Elizabeth Kleinveld and Epaul Julien), Scott Sanders, David Harouni, Tony and Tracy Mose, Daniel Martin Diaz, Amy Shekther, Karen Schremmer, Karen Ocker, Ashley Longshore, Shirley Rabe Masinter, Ashly Griffith, Jesse Poimboeuf, and Holly Susanne Radar. U.S. Galleries Brett’s recommended U.S. galleries for 2026 include Lemieux Gallery, 812 Royal Gallery, Mortal Machine Gallery, Gallery Orange, Breedlove Gallery, Harouni Gallery, ESOM Gallery, Ferrara Showman Gallery, Arthur Roger Gallery, Orleans Gallery, dtr gallery, Samuel Owen Gallery, and Ashley Longshore Gallery. International Artists For international artists, Brett recommends Michal Lukasiewicz, Jo Holdsworth, Tess Chodan, Dan Pearce, Leo Manelli, Charmaine Chanikira, Pete Humphreys, Dom Pattinson, Monika Nowak, Marlene Dumas, William Hylton, Stikki Peaches, Lhouette, Karenina Fabrizzi, Rerun, Ross Muir, Nick Alm, Francien Krieg, Carolina Bellachi, Carlos Merida, Mr. Sly, and Elizabeth Bessant. International Galleries Brett’s recommended international galleries for 2026 include Enter Gallery, Art Space and Design Gallery, The Rose Gallery, The Lemongrove Gallery, Clarendon Fine Art, Gallery Poulsen, Maddox Gallery, and Stolen Space Gallery. From Personal Art Experience to Global Influence What truly distinguishes Brett Campbell from other influencers is his genuine, heartfelt engagement with the art world. His recommendations come from a place of deep personal understanding, built on years of experience and direct connections with artists and galleries. Brett believes that art is more than just a decorative object — it is a conversation, a challenge to the status quo, and a reflection of both the artist and the times in which we live. His role is to connect collectors with the soul of the artists and the stories behind their work, helping them find pieces that speak to their own identities and the energy they wish to cultivate in their homes. "I believe in the power of art to connect people on a deeper level," Brett says. "My goal is to bring visibility to the incredible talent that exists in every corner of the world. Art is not just about the piece itself; it’s about the story behind it and the emotions it evokes." Join the Conversation Brett’s role as both a collector and influencer is shaping the future of art discovery. His upcoming 2026 recommendations will highlight top artists and galleries worldwide, offering a curated reference for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. As Brett moves from art collector to art collaborator, his mission is clear: to foster a deeper understanding of art by connecting collectors with the very soul of the artists behind the works. About TheBrettCampbell TheBrettCampbell is an art-focused social media platform founded by Brett Campbell, an art influencer and collector who connects artists, galleries, and collectors worldwide. With over 500,000 followers, Brett curates insights and provides recommendations rooted in personal interactions and purchases from artists and galleries across the globe.

James Cameron cautions generative AI, praises the power of cinema at HIIFF masterclass
Legendary director James Cameron voiced concerns about generative AI and the possible use of the technology to replace real actors at the 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival in Sanya, Hainan province on Dec. 9. Filmmaker James Cameron speaks at a masterclass during the 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival in Sanya, Hainan province, Dec. 9, 2025. [Photo courtesy of The Walt Disney Company] As the director of "The Terminator," a film which once envisioned artificial intelligence and a doomsday-like disaster, Cameron now faces the reality of the technology he imagined, and approaches it with caution. "I think we have to decide what technology is going to be useful as artists and what technology might compromise us as artists," he said. To make a clear distinction, he said the performance-capture technology used on his films allows for a more authentic and emotional result, noting that the upcoming "Avatar: Fire and Ash," is probably the most emotional of the three "Avatar" movies to date, a feat that makes his team very proud. "On the other extreme we have new technology that's emerging, using a generative AI where we can completely replace actors, maybe using large language models we can replace writers," he said. "I'm not personally interested in using those tools. I'm not personally interested in any pathway that uses the technology to replace human creativity." He conceded that generative AI is developing quickly and can help improve workflow, efficiency, and creativity, as long as it adheres to a very high ethical, moral, and practical standard. He said the technology makes it highly possible to replace an actor. However, "I wouldn't do it, but it may be possible practically," he said. "But is it desirable?" "Does it create that unique character that is basically a meld of two sets of unique human experiences?" he asked. "One is the screenwriter experiencing life in a very unique way, while the actor is bringing their life experience, things that have happened to them, the feelings that they felt, their hurt, their heartbreak, their love, their joy, all of the things that they've gone through." He argued that uniqueness is core to art, stating a model trained on everything cannot be unique, as it produces only the average or the mediocre, not the special. It also cannot create something never seen before. For example, he said, a generative model can easily produce something that looks like "Avatar," but it could not have done so before the original film existed. "Ask that model to do it before 'Avatar' existed. It's going to draw a blank. So, it fundamentally still comes back to human creativity," he said. Cameron then addressed the theatrical experience, acknowledging that while many cinema lovers value it, viewing habits are changing. He noted that streaming has captured much of the former theater audience by offering immediate, convenient access. He went on to talk about the psychological impact of short-form content on audiences and their attention spans. He also clarified that cinemas provide something the home cannot, saying the communal experience and unique moments like a shared laughter are incomparable. "I think these days when we're distracted by a lot of short-form media, short videos and so on, and also even when we're streaming, we have a remote, we can make anything a short video. We can pause it, go out, talk to somebody, maybe scroll a bit, do multi-screen, talk to our friends. Everything is coming in a fragmented way or in a short-attention-span mode. How do we counter that? Go to the movies," he said. He described the deliberate choice and preparations of going to the cinema as imposing a focused engagement with the screen. He contrasted this with viewing at home, stating the theatrical experience offers a deeper and more profound focus because it commands sustained emotional investment, without the option to pause or get distracted. "I would say I want to continue to make movies that are seen at least first in the movie theater because it'll be a deeper experience," he said. He stressed that the viewing of a film, especially in 3D, heightens the senses and engages more of the brain, revealing details that would otherwise be missed. He noted that the intricate world of the Avatar films is built on such detail, sometimes requiring a second viewing to appreciate it fully. "Movies are simulators for things that might happen in our lives," Cameron said. "Joy, love, tragedy, loss, death, all of the things, all of the human experience. We can go into a movie theater and we can go through a simulation of that and we can feel something, and know that our feelings are working... And maybe prepare ourselves mentally for something that might happen in our life. There's no way to create that experience through any other medium." Cameron was in Sanya for the China premiere of his film "Avatar: Fire and Ash," which received overwhelmingly positive reviews on Dec. 8 for its action, grandeur, emotion and imagination. It will open nationwide on Dec. 19. He called the phenomenal success of the Avatar films a result of a timeless story that exists outside any specific country or culture, while remaining universal and relevant in the world today.

RED ART PROJECT Brings a Global Exploration of Red to Geneva During Art Genève
USIA (United State of International Artists), a Lisbon-based art brand founded by Francisco Lacerda in 2009, is proud to announce the launch of the RED ART PROJECT, an international group exhibition at Artium Gallery in Geneva. The exhibition will run from January 27 to February 1, 2026, held at the same time of the prestigious Art Genève art fair. Curated by Francisco Lacerda, the RED ART PROJECT invites audiences to experience the color red through its multifaceted emotional, cultural, political, and spiritual dimensions. Geneva, known for its vibrant cultural landscape, serves as the perfect venue for this cross-border dialogue, bringing together a diverse group of Swiss and international artists. The exhibition showcases the diversity of contemporary approaches to red. Hélène Zuckschwerdt presents alabaster sculptures in which red emerges through sensuality and the strength of the material, while Richard Rohart combines wood and plexiglass to create works of striking tactile and visual depth. Eliane Muller investigates the emotional and spiritual aspects of red through expressive painting, and Maria João Vale captures it in photographic moments connected to identity, memory, and presence. Mélanie Jost layers resin, wood, acrylic, quartz crystal, and citrine to produce multidimensional works where red becomes a vital, transformative force, while Daniel Schär bridges visual art and music, exploring red’s resonance through rhythm and vibration. In Victoria Menezes Miller’s The Red Cheetah, red’s emotional power is further explored: a boldly crimson background frames a cheetah standing proudly, both fierce and defiant. Annika Döring immerses viewers in a series of red clouds set against dramatic skies and sunsets, evoking romance and intensity. Claudia Abdelghafar presents two figurative works with contrasting meanings: one evokes Bran Castle in Transylvania and the blood of vampires, while the other transports the viewer to Venice, where red suggests warmth, softness, and light. Adélia Clavien describes red as “the fire of passion,” Ursula Vargas highlights its ambivalent nature between life and aggression, and Teresa Martins examines its sensory impact through abstraction. Miguel Martins, moving fluidly between figuration and abstraction, links his works to the prehistoric art of Altamira and explores red as a symbol of life, creation, and transformation. His paintings, including From Shadow to Light, Emerging Red and Red Thrill, capture movement, vitality, and the tension between matter and light. Complementing these visual works, the original text by the late Portuguese writer Clara Pinto Correia adds a poetic and narrative layer, weaving memory, mythology, and identity around the color red. RED ART PROJECT is an international initiative by USIA that, through color, connects artists, collectors, and audiences, fostering an open, cross-border artistic dialogue. Exhibition Details RED ART PROJECT Artium Gallery 11, rue de l’Hôtel de Ville Geneva, Switzerland January 27 – February 1, 2026 Exhibition Schedule Opening Day 16:00–18:00: Press & Collectors Preview 18:00–20:00: Official Exhibition Opening Public Viewing January 28–31: 14:00–19:00 February 1: 10:00–12:00 Media Contact: Francisco Lacerda, Curator USIA (United State of International Artists) Email: [email protected] USIA Team: [email protected] Website: usia.co.uk/redart

Canadian Fine Art Prints With Original Music: Immersive Collection Announced
High Style Fine Art and RHP Audio Studio have announced "Art That Sings," a collection pairing fine art prints with original interpretive songs. This partnership combines Tami-Jo Shaw's abstract paintings with Robert Payne's custom compositions, creating experiences that engage both sight and sound for collectors, gift buyers, and interior designers. More information is available at https://www.rhp-marketing-services.com/ Traditional fine art provides visual beauty but limits engagement to a single sense, leaving collectors without deeper emotional connections to their purchases, says the team. For those seeking meaningful gifts or statement pieces, finding artwork that creates lasting impact beyond wall decoration presents a persistent challenge. High Style Fine Art and RHP Audio Studio address these limitations through "Art That Sings," in which each limited-edition print includes a professionally composed song that interprets the painting's themes. The collection's featured piece, "Just Breathe," anchors the first release, demonstrating how music translates visual emotions through sound and lyrics. "We help collectors and gift buyers discover art that comes alive through both sight and sound," said a representative. "Every print includes a unique, custom-composed song inspired by the artwork, bringing a new dimension to art ownership that combines beauty, music, and meaning." Each print ships in gallery-quality formats, available framed with a gallery wrap or unframed to suit different installation preferences. As a result, purchasers receive immediate access to songs corresponding to their chosen artwork through downloadable or streamable formats, establishing an ongoing relationship with the piece. The collaboration brings together Tami-Jo Shaw's 29 years of experience in interior design and fine art with Robert Payne's expertise in custom songwriting for memorial tributes and life celebrations. By pairing Shaw's textured abstract works with Payne's interpretive compositions, the multisensory experience invites repeated interaction. High Style Fine Art serves clients throughout Western Canada with original paintings, prints, and interior design services from Central Alberta. Shaw creates commissioned works and gallery pieces for residential and commercial spaces. RHP Audio Studio provides custom songwriting services for personal tributes, celebrations, and business applications throughout Canada, transforming stories and emotions into professionally produced musical compositions. Art collectors and interior designers interested in the "Art That Sings" collection can visit https://www.highstyle.ca/fineart for purchasing options.

Meet the "wedding archivist"—and why couples want one
PENNSYLVANIA — December 22, 2024 — Real2Reel Photo & Video Services has published a new article exploring the emerging distinction between traditional wedding photographers and "wedding archivists"—artists who prioritize preserving emotional truth over trending aesthetics. The article, titled "What's the Difference Between a Wedding Photographer and a Wedding 'Archivist'?", addresses a growing concern among engaged couples following the 2024 "Sepiagate" phenomenon. This industry reckoning occurred when couples discovered that trendy warm filters and muted tones that appeared artistic in 2021 made their wedding photos look dated just three years later. The backlash has sparked a fundamental shift in how couples evaluate and select their wedding photography professionals. "A wedding photographer documents what happened. A wedding archivist preserves why it mattered," the article states. The cultural shift has sparked increased demand for documentary-style wedding coverage that prioritizes timeless, true-to-life imagery over fleeting trends. Recent industry data suggests that 57 percent of couples now prioritize their photographer over all other wedding vendors, including the venue itself—a significant change from previous years when photography often ranked lower on the priority list. "We are not just photographers. We are Archivists of Feeling," said Chaváis Wilkins, Founder, CEO, and Lead Photographer/Cinematographer at Real2Reel Photo & Video Services. "Our mission is to hunt for the unscripted truth—the tremor in a hand, the silent glance, the burst of unrestrained joy. Through our lens, we collect these fleeting feelings and forge them into a visual legacy that doesn't just show you how your day looked, but reminds you how it truly felt." The full article is available at https://real2reelphoto.com/what-is-a-wedding-archivist/ About Real2Reel Photo & Video Services Established in New York City in 2009 and now based in Pennsylvania, Real2Reel Photo & Video Services provides wedding photography and videography throughout the East Coast, including New York, New Jersey, and surrounding regions.

'Black Rabbit, White Rabbit' wins top prize at Golden Coconut Awards
Iranian filmmaker Shahram Mokri's mystery drama "Black Rabbit, White Rabbit" won best picture at the Golden Coconut Awards ceremony. This concluded the 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIIFF) in Sanya, Hainan province on Dec. 9. Representatives for "Black Rabbit, White Rabbit" go on stage to accept the best picture award at the 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival closing ceremony and the Golden Coconut Awards ceremony in Sanya, Hainan province, Dec. 9, 2025. [Photo courtesy of HIIFF Organizing Committee] The film, a co-production between Tajikistan and the United Arab Emirates, stars prominent Tajik actors Babak Karimi, Hasti Mohammaï, and Kibriyo Dilyobova. The bold drama weaves three seemingly disconnected stories into one through flowing, expertly choreographed takes: a film set armorer suspects a fake firearm is real, an aspiring actor demands an audition, and a car crash victim fears their accident was deliberate. Mokri entrusted the film's production designer to read his acceptance letter at the HIIF ceremony. He thanked the entire team, "as this film is the result of everyone's collaboration." He expressed hope to return to Hainan in the future to present new films. "Black Rabbit, White Rabbit" has been selected to represent Tajikistan in the best international feature film category at the 98th Oscars. This year's HIIFF received 4,564 submissions from 119 countries and regions. Amongst them for consideration were 14 feature films, 6 documentaries, and 10 short films. These were shortlisted for the Golden Coconut Awards competition. All awards and honors were voted by a jury led by the renowned Italian film festival curator, producer and scholar, Marco Müller. Müller noted that during the process, the jury watched numerous highly exploratory films, showcasing diverse creative directions and expressive paths. The selected works this year span three generations of directors, reflecting a convergence of cinematic power across different eras. "We hope that the final results from this jury will truly match this diverse, inclusive film platform," he said. Lee Hong-chi's "A Dance in Vain" and Julian Radlmaier's "Phantoms of July" shared the Grand Jury Prize. The Chinese film "A Dance in Vain" was awarded for its acute cultural observation and authentic emotional expression, the jury comment read. "I have always viewed filmmaking as a continuous learning process, without any utilitarian intent. Whatever moves me or sparks my interest is what I choose to film," said director Lee. He also thanked the film's lead actor, Wang Zixuan, who is also his wife, for her support through their journey. Joel Alfonso Vargas won best director award for his "Mad Bills to Pay." Destiny Checo, Yohanna Florentino and Nathaly Navarro shared the best actress award for their outstanding chemistry and nuanced performances. Theodore Pellerin won best actor award for his performance in French film "Nino." Sophy Romvari and Miguel de Zuviria shared the best scriptwriter award for their works "Blue Heron" and "Brought with the Storm," respectively. "Mare's Nest" won best visual effect. Ye Zhenpeng's "Eternal Summer" was recognized as the best Chinese contribution of the year. Ye said in his acceptance speech that the film about youth was his first film, made at age 21, while thanking HIIFF for providing opportunities for young directors. Nicolas Graux and Truong Minh Quy's "Hair, Paper, Water..." won best documentary film, while Randa Maroufi's "L'mina" won best short film. The jury also presented two special mentions: Wang Yu's "I Sing, I Love, I Exist" was recognized with a special mention for documentary film, and "Ayi" received a special mention for short film. The 7th HIIFF concluded on Tuesday night. The festival featured the Golden Coconut Forum, masterclasses, the young filmmaker film pitch, film events marking the 50th anniversary of China-Thailand diplomatic relations, and the premiere of James Cameron's "Avatar: Fire and Ash." As a pioneering project in the development of the Hainan Free Trade Port, HIIFF has attracted global attention through its professional judging standards and multicultural vision.
