Eli Spizzichino (shown here) and his father Aldo collaborate on beautiful mathematical works of art, which were on display at the 2008 Festival di Matematica in Rome.
Sadly, this photo doesn't show the entire painting (or do justice to its colors) but you can see it and many more on their website at computedart.org/showgal-festival
Their website explains this painting as follows:
In the following work (The library of a mathematician, Fig. 34 ), two origami models of the great dodecahedron hang from the ceiling, oriented at different angles. The construction is similar to an origami made in paper: twenty trihedral dimples replace the faces of an icosahedron. The rendering in shaded colors is produced by polygonal spots clipped against the triangular facets, with color composition driven by the point location.
Following the suit of many other failed mathematicians I tried to jump frm the mathematicians bridge. (Unfortunately Dora stopped me in time. (photo by Lorena)
The seal outside the main lecture hall at Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, in Oberwolfach, Germany.
Some of my closest friends at UF went with me to GatorWalk, when the Gators enter the stadium before the game, to much fanfare. We were extremely lucky and actually stood next to Tim Tebow's family and I got some cool shots. One of my closest friends, Junghe, got some really incredible ones and I can't wait to see how those came out.

King Harald V of Norway awarded the Abel Prize which, along with the Fields Medal is one of the two most important mathematical prizes, to John G. Thompson and Jacques Tits.
Jacques Tits at MFO, 2007They received the award for their "outstanding achievements in algebra and especially for their shaping of modern group theory".
The Norwegian Academy of Science announced the names of the prize winners at the beginning of April. The prize, which includes a €750,000 award to the winner, has been awarded every year since 2003 and it is named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802 - 1829).
