VICE News recently sent out Miléne Larsson to conduct an exclusive interview with Luz, the surviving Charlie Hebdo cartoonist behind the magazine’s extremely controversial Prophet Muhammad cover. Taking place at his sniper-proof apartment in Paris, Luz talks about the horrific scenes he witnessed during and after the attack, shows a version of what Charlie Hebdo would look like if it were a “responsible” newspaper, and discusses the magazine’s latest cover and the reaction to it.

As part of a lounge it designed for furniture and design show Maison&Objet, Japanese firm Nendo, who were recently named "M&O's Designer of the Year", created nine beautiful pieces of chocolate that look more like miniature sculptures than confectionary.

Spanish artist Guillermo Mora creates oozing folds of vibrant color from little more than piles of acrylic paint. An accomplished artist whose work was recently featured at this past Art Basel in Miami, this innovate sculptor creates incredible installations made from just two simple materials. Rubber bands and leather belts are the only things holding together his shiny clumps of paint. Mora’s process is almost surreal, as he dumps buckets of acrylic magentas and baby blues onto the floor to begin. After the paint dries, he simply lifts the now hardened paint, and proceeds to fold and wrap his glossy, pastel creations. To add further to Mora’s highly textural and tangible installations, many of the artist’s sculptures have a crackled, rough grain to the paint.
Many of Mora’s installations are unique, as his work often morphs and transforms to the space that it inhabits. Mora’s choice of medium allows him to manipulate it to fit in the space as he sees fit, such as hanging from the ceiling, running down a wall, or folded into a corner. This allows the artwork to demonstrate a strong focus on color and form. Mora’s use of seemingly traditional materials continues to mystify us as he changes the way viewers think about acrylic paint and what it is capable of.

The first cover of Charlie Hebdo since the tragic 7 Jan attack has been revealed. Dubbed the "survivor issue", the cover depicts the Prophet Muhammad holding a "Je Suis Charlie" sign, along with the words "Tout est pardonne," which translates as "All is forgiven."
