Mural by Mandi Caskey at 37 Fall Street in Seneca Falls, birthplace of the women’s rights movement in the United States. It shows two women passing a flame between their hands. The older woman wears a sash reading “1848 Vote for Women.” The background includes a crescent moon, clouds, and white butterflies.

Mandi Caskey: Tribute to the enduring fight for women’s rights across generations. This mural captures an intimate moment of exchange. A suffragette passing a living flame into the hands of a modern woman. The fire represents knowledge, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for justice and equity. The suffragette’s steady presence honors the women of Seneca Falls who fought to secure the right to vote, while the younger woman receives the flame with reverence and determination, carrying that light forward into a more inclusive future. Both figures rise from the water, a symbol of rebirth and the roots of Seneca Falls, where the first Women’s Rights Convention reshaped history. Her sash belongs to the past. Her buttons belong to the present. And the moths gather in remembrance, for everyone, who gave their life to the cause. Let’s keep the light burning for all.

3D Masterpieces (18 Photos)

Get ready to be mesmerized by the fascinating world of 3D street art!

In today’s blog post, we’ll delve into the mind-bending realm of anamorphic masterpieces, as we explore how these optical illusions are created and what makes them so captivating. So, buckle up and let’s dive into the intriguing world of 3D street art!
It’s all about perspective! The Art of Anamorphosis:

Creating Illusions Anamorphosis, the technique behind 3D street art, involves creating distorted images that only appear in their correct proportions when viewed from a specific angle or through a reflective device. This mind-blowing technique has been around since the Renaissance, but it wasn’t until the late 20th century that artists began applying it to the streets, transforming ordinary pavements into magical wonderlands.

The Pioneers: Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever

We can’t talk about 3D street art without mentioning its pioneers, Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever. Both artists started creating anamorphic illusions on the streets of Europe in the 1980s, revolutionizing the street art scene. Their innovative works have inspired a new generation of artists to experiment with perspective and create their own jaw-dropping 3D masterpieces.

The Process: From Sketch to Lifelike Artwork

Creating 3D street art is a labor-intensive process that begins with a detailed sketch of the desired illusion. Artists then use mathematical calculations and perspective techniques to determine the correct proportions for the final piece. Once the groundwork is done, they meticulously apply chalk or paint to the pavement, using shading and highlights to bring the illusion to life.

Brilliant Art By Le CyKlop (10 Photos)

By putting an eye on them, I try to bring them to life, give them a soul and give birth to a form of fantasy. Think about the mythical creature, the Cyclops, sporting a single eye in the center of its forehead. Now imagine seeing Cyclops-inspired art embedded in your everyday urban landscape! This is exactly what the French street artist, Le CyKlop, accomplishes with his witty, transformative art.

Hailing from the vivacious city of Paris, Le CyKlop’s affinity for street art was ignited during the flourishing graffiti culture of the 1980s. However, his fascination was not confined to the freedom and spontaneity of street art; he was captivated by the potential to transfigure the ordinary world into an extraordinary canvas.

“I try to break free from conventional supports such as walls or canvas, to invest in objects. By putting an eye on them, I try to bring them to life, give them a soul and give birth to a form of fantasy,” Le CyKlop explains. He further adds, “A playful and anthropomorphic art that borrows its artistic language from toys, comics or animal bestiary. By drawing on the history of the Cyclops, I revisiting Greek mythology.”

Rather than utilizing paint on a blank wall, Le CyKlop views everyday street fixtures, particularly the humble bollard, as unique canvases. These mundane posts, with a splash of paint and a sprinkle of imagination, transform into one-eyed creatures. Suddenly, these functional items, often overlooked, develop a life of their own, morphing into Cyclopean characters overseeing the city streets.

Each work by Le CyKlop is distinctive.

Some bollards wear a simplistic, single eye, while others are adorned with faces, topped with an array of hats, or other playful accessories. Yet they all share a common trait – a single, unblinking eye witnessing the world.

Le CyKlop’s artistry is not confined to Paris. His Cyclops have invaded streets worldwide, sprouting up in different countries and infusing a sense of whimsy wherever they make an appearance. His work challenges us to perceive our everyday environment in a new light, to unearth joy in the most unexpected places.

The visionary artist’s journey continues unabated. Le CyKlop plans to press ahead with his mission to metamorphose ordinary bollards into extraordinary pieces of art, radiating smiles and igniting curiosity in everyone who encounters his work.

Le CyKlop’s work underscores the transformative power of imagination. His one-eyed wonders encourage us to view the world with a playful spirit, to explore creativity, and to recognize the potential for art in our daily surroundings. So next time you’re out and about, stay alert – you might just encounter a Cyclops of your own!

Sasha Korban: ‘’სიყვარულით” which translates to “with love” in Georgian. In Georgia, this mural is referred to as “ბებოს” meaning “grandma”. However, this mural represents the very essence of love. The love that saturates our everyday lives, manifesting through the small acts of kindness from our loved ones or even their mere presence. Unfortunately, we often take this love for granted, assuming it to be the natural order of things, and we sometimes overlook the beauty of life’s simpler moments.
By Sasha Korban in Tbilisi, Georgia.
In addition to his incredible talent as a muralist, Korban is also a socially conscious artist, often using his work to raise awareness about pressing issues such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.

His art is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and our collective ability to overcome adversity.
As a leading figure in the contemporary street art scene, Sasha Korban continues to inspire and captivate audiences with his evocative and thought-provoking creations. His work is a testament to the power of art to communicate, heal, and bring people together, making the world a more vibrant and connected place.
Sasha Korban: Created this mural a few days ago in Kyiv, and at that time nearby were battles for the liberation of Bucha and Irpin took place
Sasha Korban: “The day will come, when the war is over… To the ones who will see their beloved ones again and the ones who will not.”

Break the Circle

Sasha Korban: The best safeguard against domestic violence is the confidence of women in their unconditional value and dignity. And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.
The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones. And remember, that you deserve to be respected and to be happy simply because you exist.

Finding a good balance in life

Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony. The project is organized by International Human Rights Organization Truth Hounds

True Hope

Sasha Korban: It is the fourth year of war in my country. There are thousands of broken hearts and lost beloved ones, ruined families, injured bodies and souls. Milana is a six-year-old girl who faced the war three years ago. But she was stronger than any war. Her little and yet brave heart conquered everything. I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.

Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live! There were several situations when people from the opposite building tried to stop me from working on the mural just because the Ukrainian was drawing there

Murals by Sasha Korban (16 Photos)

Born in 1987 in Kirovskoye, a small town in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, Korban began his artistic journey by doing graffiti in his hometown during the early 2000s. Korban’s artistry truly blossomed when he moved to Kyiv, where he started to develop his unique style by blending elements of realism, symbolism, and abstraction.

Sasha Korban: ‘’სიყვარულით” which translates to “with love” in Georgian. In Georgia, this mural is referred to as “ბებოს” meaning “grandma”. However, this mural represents the very essence of love. The love that saturates our everyday lives, manifesting through the small acts of kindness from our loved ones or even their mere presence. Unfortunately, we often take this love for granted, assuming it to be the natural order of things, and we sometimes overlook the beauty of life’s simpler moments.
By Sasha Korban in Tbilisi, Georgia.
In addition to his incredible talent as a muralist, Korban is also a socially conscious artist, often using his work to raise awareness about pressing issues such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.

His art is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and our collective ability to overcome adversity.
As a leading figure in the contemporary street art scene, Sasha Korban continues to inspire and captivate audiences with his evocative and thought-provoking creations. His work is a testament to the power of art to communicate, heal, and bring people together, making the world a more vibrant and connected place.

Break the Circle

Sasha Korban: The best safeguard against domestic violence is the confidence of women in their unconditional value and dignity. And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.
The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones. And remember, that you deserve to be respected and to be happy simply because you exist.

Finding a good balance in life

Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony. The project is organized by International Human Rights Organization Truth Hounds

True Hope

Sasha Korban: It is the fourth year of war in my country. There are thousands of broken hearts and lost beloved ones, ruined families, injured bodies and souls. Milana is a six-year-old girl who faced the war three years ago. But she was stronger than any war. Her little and yet brave heart conquered everything. I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.

Sasha Korban: The curator of the festival Besik M while he was inviting me, said, “We have a special wall for you, opposite the Russian embassy’s building.” (correctly speaking, it was the Russian Federation Interests Section at the Embassy of Switzerland in Tbilisi).
Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live! There were several situations when people from the opposite building tried to stop me from working on the mural just because the Ukrainian was drawing there

Daisy’s maxim: sleep through the showers, wake up to flowers.

Steven has always wanted to catch a moth, but his legs are too stompy and his arms are too stumpy so he ends up dancing with them instead.

Street Artist NYCHOS

By NYCHOS for Stadt Wand Kunst at Neckarvorlandstraße 17 – 19, 68159 Mannheim, Germany.

From Stadt Wand Kunst: With rock music in his ears, a mixture of chocolate smell and Montana Can’s varnish in his nose, and sweat on his skin, the 38-year-old and his long-time friend David Leitner spent three days feverishly at work. From day one, the rather quiet Neckarvorlandstrasse in the industrial area was transformed into a place of pilgrimage for street art enthusiasts, attracted by the ease with which NYCHOS created its own universe on a 15 meter high wall. The speed and the intoxication brought NYCHOS to graffiti and spray cans as a teenager – and have not let go since today. Canvas or facade – his answer is clear. Especially the big walls can keep up with his pace and his ideas. “I can only work as fast as my head thinks with the spray can.” Read it all here.

SpongeBob has a skeleton, people live inside rabbits

NYCHOS BIO

Blending themes of morbid corporeality with the colorful, hyper-loony aesthetic descended from comics and cartoons, Nychos has developed a unique style that performs with powerhouse effect whether on the street or in the gallery.

Raised in a traditional Viennese hunting family, death and dissection were daily business for Nychos. The proximity to animal viscera had a profound effect on him psychologically and visually – he now explores the theme of dissection in his art, pushing it to playful extremes. In Nychos’ world, SpongeBob has a skeleton, people live inside rabbits and there is always something wicked underneath. Pumped up on the visual adrenaline of comics, heavy metal and graffiti, Nychos’ work reflects the immense energy and technical focus necessary to produce work on the massive scale he has reached on the streets.

Colliding style and subject matter, Nychos slices up animals and innocent childhood characters with unflinching graphic precision. His work confronts the viewer with wicked insistence, using the shock of cartoon violence as a vehicle for exploring subtler themes of mortality and temporality. Nychos pays homage to these deathless cartoon heroes by peeling them open and giving them human substance. His artwork reflects the psychology of an art scene in which creations are sometimes swept away as soon as created. Nychos also uses subtle imagery such as plastic in an orca’s belly, weaving political commentary seamlessly into his pieces.

Using delicious color-scapes and wild, fuming lines to create his characters – whether with paintbrush or spray can – Nychos works with unmatched dynamism. His command over his tools indicates a work ethic that promises only more staggering output from this artist. Nychos’ paintings and drawings have been exhibited in galleries worldwide, including six solo exhibitions (Turino, Detroit, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Paris) in the past two years alone. These pieces serve as unique compliments to his massive public works that give character to cities all over the world.

Street Artist Adele Renault

By Adele Renault in Stavelot, Belgium.

Adele Renault: Pigeons always fly home. This one is perched up on a hill next to a 100 year old beech, visible from the old rail road and the road below. Practically in my old high school’s backyard and a 2 miles flight to my parents home. Had to be a pigeon when I first saw the wall. Thanks to the Cultural center of Stavelot for making this happen.

525034

Adele Renault: Often when I paint a pigeon mural in the US, people say “oh look she’s painting an eagle.” And now when painting a pigeon in Belgium several people stopped by and said “oh is she painting the Belgian flag?”. Why are people so obsessed with patriotism? Hopefully it can just be art or just a pigeon to brighten someone’s day.
