Painter’s Message Goes Viral in Bolsover

Throwback!: In January 2020, a quiet street in Bolsover, England, became the unlikely setting for a bold act of revenge that quickly made headlines across the UK.
When a dispute between a painter and his client reached boiling point, the result was a striking message that turned the town into the center of national attention.
The Dispute That Sparked It All
Dean Reeves, a professional painter and decorator, was hired to transform the exterior of the former North Star Club building, which was being converted into flats. Reeves claims that after completing the work, his client refused to pay £500 ($645) of the agreed fee. According to Reeves, he was asked to take on additional tasks beyond their initial agreement, with payment withheld until he complied.
Frustrated and feeling cheated, Reeves decided to make his dissatisfaction clear—on the very walls he had painted.
The Message on the Wall:
Frustrated and determined to make his point, Reeves took to the very canvas he had painted – the building’s exterior. His bold graffiti message read: “Want your house painting? Don’t be like Terry, pay the bill! Now you will!” The message, written in stark black paint, stood in sharp contrast to the freshly painted cream walls.

The striking message didn’t just draw the attention of Bolsover residents – it captured headlines nationwide.
Featured prominently in newspapers like The Daily Mirror and The Sun, the story resonated with tradespeople and the public alike. Reeves’ actions sparked a mix of reactions, from those praising his ingenuity to others debating the professionalism of his response.
In Reeves’ own words, he decided to take action after being told repeatedly, “I’ll pay you tomorrow.” Tomorrow, however, never came. The building, which was being converted into flats, now served as a public reminder of the importance of honoring agreements.
Was Dean Reeves justified in taking this stand, or would you have handled the situation differently?

Banksy? Who Is The Visionary of Street Art? (25 Photos)
I. Unmasking the Enigma: A Deep Dive into Banksy’s Street Art Revolution
In the dynamic world of street art, few names are as resonant or as enigmatic as Banksy. A spectral figure whose identity remains shrouded in mystery, Banksy is a paradox of fame and anonymity, a revolutionary whose works have transformed public spaces and challenged societal norms. His art, often laced with potent political commentary and sharp satire (see 14 Great Banksy Street Art Photos and Quotes!), has left indelible marks on urban landscapes worldwide. Yet, the man behind the spray can remains elusive, his identity a secret closely guarded, adding an irresistible aura of intrigue to his body of work.This paradox is part of what makes Banksy not just a street artist, but a phenomenon. His work captures the zeitgeist, reflecting the turbulence, the dissent, and the hope of our times. His stencils—be they on the walls of London, the remnants of the West Bank barrier, or the ruins of Hurricane Katrina—have a way of speaking truth to power that has resonated with millions around the globe.

For more than three decades, Banksy has been pushing boundaries, challenging conventions, and redefining the very concept of public art. Through his stencils, he has brought the subversive ethos of the underground to the surface, making it impossible for us to ignore the social and political injustices of our world. His works are more than just provocative images; they are a call to action, a demand for change.
In this exploration, we will journey through the chaotic, captivating world of Banksy’s artistry. From his early days in Bristol’s graffiti scene to his headline-making stunts in the global art market, we’ll take a closer look at how Banksy’s work has evolved and why it continues to captivate and challenge us. Through the lens of 24 select artworks, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the visionary artist who has forever transformed the landscape of street art.
So, who is Banksy? Let’s uncover the story behind the spray can. Let’s delve into the revolution sparked by this enigma. Through his art, let’s explore the world according to Banksy.
II. A Stencil Revolution: The Genesis of Banksy’s Distinctive Style
Banksy’s journey into the world of street art began on the streets of Bristol, England, a city known for its vibrant graffiti culture. As a teenager in the 1980s, he was part of a graffiti crew called the DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ). His early work, like much of the graffiti of the time, was freehand. However, an encounter with the law sparked a transformative shift in Banksy’s approach to street art.Legend has it that a young Banksy was hiding from the police under a garbage truck when he noticed stenciled serial numbers on the truck. The stencil technique piqued his interest, offering a faster, more efficient way to paint, allowing him to dodge law enforcement while still leaving his mark. This chance discovery would not only define his artistic style but would also revolutionize the street art scene.

Stenciling allowed Banksy to create intricate and detailed pieces with precision and speed. His works were more controlled, more refined, and more complex than the freehand graffiti that dominated the streets. This technique also lent his art a distinct aesthetic — one that was cleaner, sharper, and more visually striking. He could create multi-layered artworks, combining stencils with other media and incorporating pre-existing elements in the urban landscape into his installations.
In the early 2000s, Banksy moved from Bristol to London. His stenciled works started appearing on walls, bridges, and streets across the city, turning the urban landscape into an open-air gallery of his art. Each piece was a visual protest, a political statement, a satirical commentary. They challenged authority, poked fun at societal norms, and provoked public discourse, making Banksy a controversial figure in the art world.
Yet, it was precisely this controversy, coupled with his distinctive style and incisive commentary, that catapulted Banksy to international recognition. By turning to stencils, Banksy had not only found his artistic voice, but he had also found a way to make the streets echo with that voice. In doing so, he sparked a stencil revolution that would forever alter the course of street art.

III. Crafting Satire and Shadows: The Unmistakable Artistic Approach of Banksy
Banksy’s artistic approach, while grounded in the use of stencils, is far from one-dimensional. The street artist has developed a style that is as layered and nuanced as the messages he conveys. Delving into Banksy’s work reveals a masterful blend of satire, subversion, and sociopolitical commentary, all wrapped in a distinctive visual package that has become his trademark.Perhaps the most defining aspect of Banksy’s approach is his biting satire. With a keen eye for irony, Banksy often juxtaposes contrasting images and ideas to comment on societal issues. His works are full of dark humor and sharp wit, turning everyday scenes into powerful satirical statements. Whether it’s a rioter throwing a bouquet of flowers instead of a molotov cocktail or a young girl frisking a soldier, Banksy’s art challenges viewers to reassess their preconceived notions and question the status quo.
The Flower Thrower, Flower Bomber, Rage, or Love is in the Air is a 2003 stencil mural in Beit Sahour in the West Bank
Equally important to Banksy’s approach is his use of subversion. He consistently undermines authority and disrupts conventional narratives, pushing against the boundaries of what is deemed acceptable or normal. This can be seen in his unauthorized installations in museums, his self-destructing artwork at an auction, or his dystopian theme park, Dismaland. Each act is a bold statement against institutional power and the commercialization of art.
On the visual front, Banksy’s art is marked by a striking use of black and white, with occasional pops of color. This minimalist color palette underscores the starkness of his messages and adds to the visual impact of his works. He also employs a careful play of light and shadow, giving depth and realism to his stenciled figures. Even when working on a flat surface, Banksy’s figures appear three-dimensional, as if they could step out of the wall and into the real world.
Moreover, Banksy often integrates elements of the urban environment into his artworks, transforming mundane objects and surfaces into significant components of his pieces. This creative use of the environment amplifies his art’s site-specific nature, making each piece a unique commentary on its context.
In essence, Banksy’s artistic approach is a dynamic interplay of style and substance. It merges form with content, aesthetics with message, and art with activism. Each piece is not just an artwork but a dialogue – a thought-provoking, boundary-pushing, and often uncomfortable dialogue that compels us to engage with the world in new and critical ways.
IV. From Shadows to Spotlight: The Unstoppable Global Impact of Banksy
Banksy’s rise to prominence is a testament to the power of street art as a medium for societal commentary. What began as stencilled tags in the back-alleys of Bristol has now gained international renown, resonating with audiences across the globe. His works are not merely confined to city walls, they have permeated popular culture, influenced political discourse, and even transformed the way we perceive and value art.One of the most significant aspects of Banksy’s global impact is how his art has bridged the gap between the street and the gallery. Banksy has successfully brought street art out of its perceived illegitimacy, forcing the art world to reconsider its boundaries and definitions. His works have sold for record-breaking prices at renowned auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Bonhams, showing that street art is more than capable of holding its own in the fine art market.
Banksy’s influence extends beyond the world of art, reaching into the realm of politics. His murals often tackle pressing issues like war, surveillance, consumerism, and inequality. His iconic pieces on the West Bank Barrier, for example, drew international attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, showcasing the power of art as a tool for political activism.
Moreover, Banksy’s works have become viral sensations, spreading rapidly across the internet and reaching millions of viewers. The digital age has allowed Banksy’s art to transcend geographical boundaries, amplifying its impact to an unprecedented level. Each new Banksy piece triggers a flurry of online discussions, debates, and interpretations, showing how art can engage and connect people in the virtual space.
Banksy’s global impact is also evident in the way his art has inspired a new generation of artists. His audacious style, combined with his success in challenging the status quo, has paved the way for aspiring street artists worldwide. The “Banksy Effect” is a testament to his influence, proving that art can thrive outside traditional institutions and that artists can maintain their anonymity and independence while reaching a wide audience.
Perhaps most importantly, Banksy’s global impact lies in the conversations his art starts. His works provoke thought and spark dialogue, encouraging viewers to question their surroundings and critically engage with societal issues. Whether it’s a mural on a wall, a painting in an auction house, or an image shared on social media, Banksy’s art continues to challenge, disrupt, and inspire, solidifying his position as one of the most influential figures in contemporary art.

V. Beyond the Wall: Banksy’s Multifaceted Artistic Portfolio
Banksy’s artistic portfolio, despite being shrouded in mystery and anonymity, is one that never ceases to evolve, surprise and provoke. Stretching beyond the confines of the traditional graffiti scene, Banksy has become a modern-day renaissance artist, demonstrating a remarkable ability to experiment with different mediums and platforms while consistently delivering his signature blend of satire, subversion, and social commentary.In 2010, Banksy ventured into the world of filmmaking with “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” a documentary that explores the relationship between commercial and street art. The film, which received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary, showcases Banksy’s knack for storytelling and his ability to critique the art world from within its own apparatus.
Inside Banksy’s Dismaland
Inside Banksy’s Dismaland
In 2015, Banksy took on an entirely new project: Dismaland, a dark, dystopian parody of Disneyland. This ‘bemusement park’ showcased ten new works from Banksy alongside pieces from 58 other artists. It was more than just an art exhibit; it was an immersive, interactive experience that critiqued the corporatization of leisure and the passive consumption of entertainment.
In recent years, Banksy has also shown an increasing interest in traditional painting, as seen in his ‘Mediterranean Sea View’ series. This set of oil paintings, auctioned to raise funds for a hospital in Bethlehem, combined classical techniques with Banksy’s trademark twist – in this case, life jackets washed up on shore, symbolizing the European migrant crisis. Such works demonstrate Banksy’s versatility and his willingness to adapt his craft to convey urgent messages.
Banksy’s ‘Game Changer’ painting raises $23 million for UK health charities
Banksy’s more recent work during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as ‘Game Changer,’ displayed in Southampton General Hospital, is a testament to his timely engagement with current events. This piece, which pays tribute to healthcare workers, again shows Banksy’s ability to adapt to new contexts and media, while staying true to his roots in street art.
Whether it’s stencils on city walls, films, immersive installations, traditional paintings, or even the occasional piece of performance art (as seen in the shredding of ‘Girl with Balloon’), Banksy’s expanding portfolio reflects his boundless creativity, adaptability, and commitment to pushing the boundaries of what art can be and do. His work stands as a testament to the fact that art is not just about aesthetics, but can also be a vehicle for social change, critique, and dialogue.
VI. Shattering Expectations: Banksy’s Iconic Artistic Moments
When it comes to creating unforgettable artistic moments, Banksy is second to none. The anonymous artist has a track record of staging high-profile stunts that not only challenge conventional norms of the art world but also provoke public dialogue and reflection on broader societal issues.Perhaps the most iconic of all is Banksy’s 2018 Sotheby’s auction stunt, in which his artwork ‘Girl with Balloon’ self-destructed immediately after being sold for £1.04 million. Hidden within the ornate frame was a remotely activated shredder that left the artwork hanging in tatters. This audacious act was not just a prank; it was a commentary on the commodification of art and the market’s ability to dictate the value of artworks. The shredded artwork was later renamed ‘Love is in the Bin,’ and in a twist of irony, it became even more valuable after the stunt.

Another moment that captured global attention was Banksy’s 2013 New York residency, ‘Better Out Than In.’ For 31 days, Banksy unveiled a new work each day across the city. On one of these days, he set up a stall selling signed original Banksy canvases for just $60. The unsuspecting buyers had no idea of the true value of the artworks they were purchasing, challenging the notion of art’s value being tied to the artist’s name.
And again: In 2015, Banksy shook the art world again with the opening of Dismaland, a dark, dystopian parody of Disneyland. This temporary art project in the seaside resort town of Weston-super-Mare in England featured a fairy castle in ruin, a boat pond full of asylum seekers, and two juggernauts performing ballet, among other installations. It was a stark critique of consumer culture, inequality, and the failings of capitalism.
Banksy’s ‘Devolved Parliament,’ a satirical painting depicting the UK House of Commons filled with chimpanzees, is another example of his timely and pointed commentary. The artwork, which was created in 2009 and exhibited just before the original Brexit date in March 2019, sold for a record-breaking £9.9 million at Sotheby’s in October 2019.
And as mentioned before who can forget Banksy’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic? His ‘Game Changer’ artwork, depicting a young boy playing with a nurse doll, was a tribute to healthcare workers on the front lines of the crisis. It was later sold at auction for £16.8 million, with all proceeds going to the NHS.
Through these iconic moments, Banksy continues to use his art to subvert expectations, provoke thought, and challenge the status quo, leaving an indelible mark on the world of contemporary art.
VII. Enduring Impressions: The “Banksy Effect”
The “Banksy Effect” is a term coined to describe the remarkable influence that Banksy has had on the art world and beyond. It refers not just to his transformation of street art into a globally recognized and highly coveted form of expression, but also to the way his work has reshaped public discourse around key societal issues.Banksy’s provocative approach to art has undoubtedly pushed the boundaries of what is considered acceptable or valuable in the art world. By using public spaces as his canvas, Banksy has democratized access to art, making it available to everyone, not just those who frequent art galleries or auction houses. This has led to a broader acceptance and recognition of street art as a legitimate form of artistic expression, with cities around the world now boasting thriving street art scenes.
Beyond the art scene, Banksy’s satirical, often politically charged works have also had a profound impact on public consciousness. His art has served as a powerful commentary on issues such as war, capitalism, consumerism, and inequality, sparking public dialogue and forcing viewers to confront uncomfortable realities. By leveraging the power of art for social commentary, Banksy has inspired a new generation of artists to use their work as a tool for social and political activism.
Moreover, Banksy’s commitment to anonymity has further fueled his appeal and added a layer of intrigue to his work. Despite his global fame, Banksy has managed to maintain his anonymity, a feat that has only added to his mystique and led to widespread speculation about his identity. This anonymity has also allowed Banksy to remain a subversive figure, unbound by the expectations or constraints typically placed on renowned artists.
The “Banksy Effect” encompasses the far-reaching influence of Banksy’s art on both the art world and society at large. His innovative approach to art, combined with his incisive social commentary, has left an enduring legacy that continues to inspire and provoke. Whether it’s through a simple graffiti piece on a city wall or a high-profile stunt at an auction house, Banksy’s impact is indelible, echoing throughout contemporary culture and continuing to challenge our perceptions of art and its role in society.
VIII. Unmasking the Enigma: Decoding Banksy’s Enduring Allure
As we delve into the intriguing world of Banksy, we come to realize that his enigmatic persona, revolutionary approach to art, and the courage to challenge societal norms are not just the hallmarks of his unique artistry, but also the underlying factors of his enduring appeal.Banksy’s anonymity has allowed him to create art that is pure and unaffected by the bias of celebrity. It keeps the focus on the art and the message it conveys rather than the artist. This could well be one of the reasons why his art, despite its simplicity, resonates on a universal scale. The unknown identity of the artist also adds an element of intrigue and mystery, making each new artwork a topic of global conversation.

Banksy’s approach to art, characterized by its accessibility and daring themes, has redefined the relationship between art and the public. His belief that art should be available to everyone has brought art out of the exclusive confines of galleries and into the streets, making it part of people’s everyday lives. This democratization of art has not only elevated the status of street art but has also changed the way we perceive and interact with art.Moreover, Banksy’s unwavering commitment to highlighting societal issues through his art has given him the ability to influence public discourse like few artists can. His provoking imagery and poignant commentary on pressing issues such as war, inequality, and consumerism have started important conversations, challenging us to question the status quo and contemplate our role within these systems.
Banksy’s knack for spectacle, such as the infamous shredding incident at Sotheby’s, has further amplified his influence by merging performance and visual art, creating unforgettable moments that transcend the confines of the art world. These audacious acts have not only propelled Banksy into the global spotlight but have also pushed the boundaries of what is possible in art.
In the end, Banksy is not just an artist; he is a phenomenon, a catalyst for change, and a symbol of resistance against conventional norms. His disruptive yet compelling artistry continues to captivate the world, and his influence, the “Banksy Effect,” continues to ripple through the realms of art and culture. His legacy is one that invites us to challenge our perspectives, to question our surroundings, and most importantly, to realize the power of art as a tool for change. As we continue to anticipate Banksy’s next move, one thing is clear: the world is his canvas, and we are all eager spectators.

NemO’s: Since some years young people started to leave this land in search of new opportunities and work. This gradually started a depopulation of the town.

NemO’s: In the district Santo Stefano of Bologna, the 8000mq of the ex military barracks Masini is the place of the social center LABAS. This place has a significant history, during the war the partisan’re was imprisoned, tortured and killed. Today here develops a reality that produce and guarantees social cohesion. LABAS makes projects for a food sovereignty with Orteo, a district’s social garden, and other projects for self production. They make projects for human rights and help students, unemployed and retirees with housing rights. LABAS also organize event and initiatives for family and children. In this way the yard of the barracks becomes a open square for all citizens. The inhabitants of the district really appreciate this reality but now LABAS is in danger of eviction. ATLAS, the mythological figure that holds the world on his shoulders, is my solidarity contribution to this reality. I’ve draw a man that holds his big head in his shoulders. The head, mind and history, when big are more difficult to hold up. If something is complex and have a relevant history we have a burdensome load of responsibility.

Time Moves in One Direction, Memory in Another (9 Photos)
Content warning: Which one is your favorite?
From dreamlike illusions to philosophical street stencils, this collection explores how public art stretches, twists, and rewrites time itself. Featured works range from a clock being pulled through a brick wall in Australia to a White Rabbit in Mexico dressed for a mad tea party. You’ll see optical illusions, hand-painted sundials, and even a child dreaming against the ticking of an oversized alarm. These artists invite us to pause and consider how time shapes memory, urgency, and imagination.
More birds!: 8 Beautiful Artworks That Seem to Grow From Nature
1. Time Moves in One Direction, Memory in Another – Artist Daniel Arsham in New York, US
A photorealistic hand painted in grayscale appears to stretch a fabric-like wall around a real mounted clock, giving the illusion that the clock is being dragged backward through time. The piece blends trompe-l’œil realism with conceptual depth.

2. White Rabbit – URZE & CHAD, Mexico City, Mexico.
This fantastical mural features a white rabbit with red-rimmed eyes, dressed in a patterned robe, holding a Roman numeral clock. Surrounded by gold and blue ornamental detailing, the scene clearly references Lewis Carroll’s time-obsessed rabbit.
🔗 Follow URZE on Instagram
3. Radium – SHOK-1 in Le Locle, Switzerland
Painted with SHOK-1’s signature X-ray style, this glowing green mural shows a skeletal hand delicately drawing time with a pencil, its tip forming a clock shape. Located in the birthplace of Swiss watchmaking.
SHOK-1: This piece is about the tragic story of the Radium Girls, who suffered horribly with radiation poisoning from painting watch faces back in the 20s. I think we can still learn from it today as a narrative about the misuse of science by commerce, and of profit over people. I rendered it in the colour of radium watch lume, as if it were the dial glowing in the dark.
🔗 Follow SHOK-1 on Instagram
4. Alarm Clocks Kill Dreams
A minimal stencil in red spray paint on a yellow wall states, “alarm clocks kill dreams,” featuring a simple drawing of an alarm clock. A classic street slogan challenging our relationship with work and rest.
5. ORIGIN – ONUR in Le Locle, Switzerland

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.1

We can’t talk about 3D street art without mentioning its pioneers, Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever.

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.5

White Siberian Tiger Mural by Alegria del Prado with the help of Octavio Alegria in Balashikha, Russia for International Mural Festival.
Alegria del Prado: My work is based on the use of animals and plants as symbols. This time, I researched the fauna that can be found in Russia and chose the Siberian tiger, which, to my taste, may somehow represent the Russian people because of its strength and beauty. It doesn’t really have a literal explanation of the elements that might appear in the image, I think the animals themselves are already expressing emotions and ideas to those who contemplate them.
International Mural Festival: This is a collaboration of two artists – Octavio Alegria from Mexico and Esther del Prado from Spain. They have been working together since 2010. In their work, they mainly create dream worlds, calling for harmony between nature and the modern world. Interestingly, to create this mural, Octavio did not use any projector or markup. How did he do it, let’s keep it a secret.

Ali Zakir: “It was on Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan. We decided to make something pleasant for the residents of the city. Previously, children were always drawn, as they are our future. Here they wanted to show the sun and a boy in a blue T-shirt – the colors of our flag, which mean a bright future.”
“Originally, we were into graffiti, and we were always interested in doing something big. Somewhere in 2010, we started painting murals for our own money. Then they started calling us to different cities. To date, we have already created about 30 paintings: in Almaty, Nur-Sultan, Kostanay, Karaganda, Taldykorgan, Atyrau and Aktau.”
We decided for ourselves that we should, regardless of the situation and difficulties, show our maximum on the wall
Drawing murals is not an easy thing, once again I am convinced of this. But even at the beginning of our journey, we decided for ourselves that we should, regardless of the situation and difficulties, show our maximum on the wall.
After all, the viewer sees only the result, it does not matter to him in what conditions it was all done. Just as they don’t wave their fists after a fight, so after drawing you can’t write that the weather was bad, circumstances interfered, etc.

With this mural in the old, historical city center of Madrid I wanted to try a different approach. So I gave the viewer a new character of a yet unknown fairy tale. I have high hopes that it will encourage specially the young audience to come up with their very own story, in which the lead is a confident, black child in a golden wheelchair and in a self-made mermaid costume.

Case Maclaim: I believe the actual beauty of fairy tales is that it is up to our imagination how the character looks and moves and that version is not really up to debate, as it is just like a fingerprint, very unique and personal. With this mural in the old, historical city center of Madrid I wanted to try a different approach. So I gave the viewer a new character of a yet unknown fairy tale. I have high hopes that it will encourage specially the young audience to come up with their very own story, in which the lead is a confident, black child in a golden wheelchair and in a self-made mermaid costume.

Embracing the Journey: Bruno Catalano’s Vision
In the vast and versatile world of sculpture, few artists can make a claim to a style so unique that it becomes instantly recognizable. Bruno Catalano is one such artist. His bronze sculptures, characterized by their distinct fragmented form, have become a beacon of contemporary art, illuminating the themes of travel, migration, and journeying that are intrinsically woven into the human experience.
Born in Morocco to a Sicilian family and later moving to France, Catalano’s life has been defined by movement and change. As a young man, he spent years sailing the seas, his voyages taking him to far corners of the globe. These experiences seeped into his art, creating a unique perspective that is both personal and universal.
His most famous series, “The Travelers,” embodies this perspective. Each figure, while physically incomplete, feels emotionally whole. These sculptures, with their substantial sections missing, are a metaphor for the artist’s own feelings of incompleteness caused by his extensive travels.
This article dives into the fascinating world of Bruno Catalano, exploring his inspiration, the development of his unique artistic style, and the profound impact of his work.
1.
Navigating Life’s Seas: Catalano’s Own Odyssey
Bruno Catalano was born in 1960 in Morocco, to a family of Sicilian origin. His early life was enriched by a vibrant blend of cultures, a foundation that shaped his perspective of the world and his understanding of identity. The intricate tapestry of his early experiences would go on to influence his artistic expression, forming the basis for his unique, fragmented sculptures.
When Catalano was ten years old, his family relocated to Marseille, France, setting him on a path of migration that would significantly influence his work. Moving to a new country as a child is a transformative experience, one that often leaves lasting imprints. For Catalano, this transition shaped his perception of home, identity, and belonging, themes that would later become central to his art.
In his twenties, Catalano’s life took another dramatic turn as he became a sailor. He spent several years journeying across the globe, exploring the world’s vastness while experiencing a sense of detachment from his roots. The feeling of being scattered across various places, of leaving pieces of oneself behind with every move, is a sentiment that deeply resonated with Catalano.
His voyages on the sea were not just physical journeys but also emotional and psychological explorations. The experiences of constant motion, of witnessing new places and cultures, and of grappling with the feeling of being perpetually in transit profoundly impacted his personal and artistic development.
In many ways, Catalano’s life has been a series of voyages, each one leaving him a little more fragmented, a little more spread out across the globe. His personal journey, from Morocco to France and beyond, is not just a tale of geographical migration but also a profound exploration of the human condition, of identity and belonging, of home and displacement. These themes, so central to his life, have found a powerful expression in his iconic sculptures, inviting us to reflect on our own journeys and the fragments we leave behind.

Street Artist Bifido
By Bifidoat Viale Giosuè Carducci, 33 in Gambettola, Italy for Bosco – Urban Art Project.
Bifido (direct translation): This wall belongs to an old abandoned tobacco factory. For years, people of all sexes and ages have worked inside it, many hours a day. As is the case in thousands of other places. A life at work, a life without life. Life in your free time, spent being entertained in some refreshing recreational activity. I often think of the concept of free time. I hate free time. It is the charity of a society that wants us to be slaves. You are pregnant with a sweat that exhausts, without giving joy. Making a work at work for me meant expressing all my dissent against this absurd idea that work (as a mere sustenance) gives meaning to our life. Making art is my job and I love it.

Bitter is a lost taste, even though bitterness is delicious and cures
Mural by Mona Caron for Exomusée , Le Locle, Switzerland. Drone shots by Mauro Neri.
Mona Caron: Gentiana Lutea – studding the landscape here in the highs of the Jura mountains, standing tall in the rolling meadows like little flagpoles marking the spots where you can dig for its magic and prized bitter root, a key ingredient of many vermouths, liqueurs, firewaters, syrups and tinctures, here in the homeland of Absinthe.
Bitter is a lost taste, even though bitterness is delicious and cures. Addiction to the sweet has narrowed the spectrum of pleasures that palates can enjoy, keeping many from healthy habits.
So I offer this bitter-rooted wildflower, a field weed as metaphor of resilience through the strength we gain by daring something feared, perhaps uncomfortably new but actually ancient, unearthing both medicine and pleasure which nature has been beckoning us towards all along. Follow the golden-flowered beacon.

Nature at Work: “Mondrianish” Banyan Tree Roots Create Art in Hong Kong
Content warning: Banyan tree roots in Hong Kong form grid-like patterns resembling Mondrian’s art, blending nature and urban landscapes in a striking display documented by Alex Hofford.
In the streets of Hong Kong, nature meets art in the most unexpected way.
Banyan tree roots creep along walls and sidewalks, creating patterns that look like Piet Mondrian’s famous grid paintings. These roots form straight lines and squares, mimicking the abstract style of Mondrian’s art.
Photographer Alex Hofford documented how these tree roots create striking visual patterns, blending naturally into the urban landscape. Even in the middle of a busy city, nature quietly shapes its own unique art.

From Tallest Tree to Towering Sculpture: The Giant Hand of the UK
Content warning: Giant Hand of Vyrnwy" is a breathtaking sculpture carved from the remains of the UK’s tallest tree, a Douglas Fir. Artist Simon O’Rourke transformed the tree’s 50-foot stump into a hand reaching skyward, symbolizing the tree’s final connection to the sky
The Douglas Fir known as the “Giant Hand of Vyrnwy” was once the tallest tree in the UK, standing over 50 meters high.
But as it grew older and weaker, it became unsafe. Instead of cutting it down completely, artist Simon O’Rourke turned what was left of the tree into a giant hand sculpture reaching for the sky.
“The Forestry Commission, who are looking after the area, decided that it would be a good idea to have a memorial to the tree and left a 50-foot stem when they felled it,” said O’Rourke. “They invited eight artists to tender for the job, and I got it.”
The sculpture is now part of a place called The Giants of Vyrnwy, which inspired O’Rourke’s idea. “There are a few tall Douglas firs growing in the Giants of Vyrnwy area, and I was going on the giants theme,” he explained.
O’Rourke, who has been carving wood for nine years, used 12 different chainsaws to make the sculpture. He has also carved other things, like a swan, an angel, a kingfisher, a chipmunk, and a giant clock.
In 2011, the tree was found leaning dangerously to one side. It also had two large cracks going up from its roots to about 3.5 meters high. To keep visitors safe, the Forestry Commission decided to cut it down. Before this, a tree expert had climbed it to confirm it was the tallest tree in the UK, ensuring its story would be remembered even after it was turned into art.
