 Patrick Hughes is an acclaimed British artist who was born in Birmingham, but now works in London. He aspired to create a name for himself in his field, which he did when he invented the optical illusion reverspective. Reverspective is an illusion designed on a three dimensional surface where the farthest parts of the picture are actually the nearest.
Life before the Reverspective Optical Illusion Hughes became an independent much later on in life. Before he created his reputation as the man behind the reverspective optical illusion, he taught students in Leeds College of Art.

 Lui Bolin is an artist that takes pride in his work, and can often be seen fighting for the rights of Chinese artists in China. He depicted his disdain for the lack of recognition artists receive from the government of China after the destruction of the artist village Suo Jia Cun in Beijing.

For artists in China, he has become the voice, and he uses his status to address several different social issues associated with China’s economic development.

His legacy as an accomplished artist continues, but it is important to know how and where it all started. More here on the Spy Blog..
