The 25-year-old actress-singer-jailbird Lindsay Lohan has attracted as much publicity off-screen as she has for her roles in slasher films and family comedies alike. The hijinks that have led her in and out of rehab centers and through the criminal justice system has always left us wondering whether she's a celebrity trainwreck or a brilliant self-publicist—or both.

Late last year Mexican-American artist Bibiru and his cohorts The Wormholes put together a 56-p

age zine dedicated to Lohan, a brilliantly titled, vaguely tongue-in-cheek tribute that captured massive attention and prompted renewed reflection on her undeniable beauty.

Spanish photographer Miguel Ángel Sánchez moved from Madrid to Cairo in 2009, a year before the Arab Spring thrust the country into the world's spotlight. Despite being in the eye of one of the greatest political and social storms of a generation, he's used his talent to capture the nuances of 21st-century Egyptian society in the style of a 17th-century Spanish painter.

"We have a very important pictorial legacy in Spain. My work is the result of my love for the Spanish baroque imagery and the Italian and Spanish naturalism by Caravaggio and Ribera," says Sánchez. "It's a tribute to those Spanish paintings, where myth and reality mixed to create an intermediate state that I try to translate in images. Cairo mixes these sensations very well."

Grotesque? Hardly. Louviere + Vanessa's images are visceral in a good way. The artists proclaim to harness the amoral eros and destructive nature of humanity that has supplanted animal instinct designed to ensure survival. But for all that their work's starkness is marked by beauty—it's not challenging insomuch as one wants to look deeper rather than feel an appreciative wince and move on.
