Damon Belanger, a graphic artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area, created a public art installation called “Fake Shadows” in Redwood City, California, USA. Funded by the Redwood City Public Art Program, this unique and playful street art project was realized in 2016.

Belanger’s “Fake Shadows” are a delightful interplay of reality and illusion. The artist added painted false shadows to common street objects, such as bike racks, benches, mailboxes, and even a manhole cover, turning them into whimsical creatures and objects. For example, a parking meter’s shadow becomes a monkey’s tail, a mailbox casts the shadow of a dragon, and a bike rack’s shadow transforms into a monkey on a tree.

If you’ve had the chance to see Damon Belanger’s “Fake Shadows” in person, why not share your experience or better still, your photos in our Facebook group Your Street Art Utopia?

For more on Damon Belanger and his work, visit his website.

On your next urban adventure, remember this: street art is not only about murals on walls or graffiti tags. It’s an ever-evolving form of self-expression that can turn even a simple street fixture into a source of surprise and joy. So, keep your eyes open – the next creative twist could be just around the corner!

Googly-Eyed Art (17 Photos)

Bulgarian street artist Vanyu Krastev adds a touch of humor to urban spaces by attaching googly eyes to everyday objects.

From cracked concrete spheres resembling cartoon characters to tree trunks that appear to “smile,” his work transforms mundane surroundings into delightful scenes.
In collaboration with students from Dimitar Petrov Primary School in Sliven, Krastev brought his funny approach to the International Youth Center in Primorsko. Armed with googly eyes, the children explored their environment, turning ordinary shapes into imaginative faces. This unique form of street art is simple but also creative. It invites everyone to see the world with a fresh perspective.

“The idea is people to have fun, to look for forms, developing their associative thinking. When one has that strive for creativity and the need to do it, my piece of advice is: follow your heart, grow that need, take good care of it… Then it will develop and bring inner satisfaction. And another piece of advice: don’t stick eyes wherever there are ones already.”

Il Friuli: “The project – explains Masieri – was born in the period of the lockdown. While we were all closed in the house, I didn’t know how to use the time and the idea was born almost for fun. I left with a cat (who keeps an eye on the condominium where he lives, ed ) and then I thought about involving the Torre association to find other walls to decorate. So we hope to be able to invade the city. I chose the dog because I really wanted this design to be for everyone. And so I opted for man’s best friend “.

A Monument to Pollution

In this clever installation, an elderly couple observes an oversized cigarette butt as if it were an ancient relic. A tiny museum-style sign adds to the illusion, highlighting the absurdity of how litter becomes part of our environment.
Holding On for Dear Life

A tiny figure sits on a lit cigarette resting on a Marlboro pack, appearing to smoke it. The contrast between the small human and the everyday object plays with scale and humor, turning a casual act into a surreal scene.
A Giant Fallen Beast

A father and child stand in front of a dead bumblebee, treating it like an encounter with a wild animal. This perspective shift makes us reconsider the fragility of nature in urban spaces.
Exploring the Unknown

A man and his daughter stand before a dark hole in the wall, as if about to embark on a cave expedition. The texture of the wall adds to the illusion of rough terrain.
Tropical Paradise on a Tennis Ball

A palm tree emerges from a half-submerged tennis ball, creating a surreal island scene. Two miniature sunbathers admire their unusual tropical getaway, blending whimsy with commentary on artificial environments.
Rowing Through Spilled Milk

A tiny man rows a boat across a puddle of spilled milk, turning an everyday accident into an epic journey. The white liquid mimics a vast sea, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary.
A Can of Faith

A tiny religious figure stands before a fallen Coca-Cola can adorned with a small cross, resembling a place of worship. This humorous piece plays with scale and symbolism, turning trash into something sacred.

A Monument to Pollution

In this clever installation, an elderly couple observes an oversized cigarette butt as if it were an ancient relic. A tiny museum-style sign adds to the illusion, highlighting the absurdity of how litter becomes part of our environment.

Another piece from Slinkachu's 'Little People' series, showing a miniature figurine sitting on a cigarette butt, which rests on an opened Marlboro cigarette pack. The small figure, dressed in a red sweater and blue pants, interacts with the oversized objects, highlighting themes of consumption and waste. The scene is set against a textured wall, with a small pile of ash nearby.

Holding On for Dear Life

A tiny figure sits on a lit cigarette resting on a Marlboro pack, appearing to smoke it. The contrast between the small human and the everyday object plays with scale and humor, turning a casual act into a surreal scene.

A whimsical scene from Slinkachu's 'Little People' series, featuring two miniature figurines—one holding a rifle, the other observing—standing on a sidewalk in front of a dead bumblebee. The oversized bee transforms into a dramatic, almost otherworldly creature in this context, while the gray stone wall in the background adds a gritty, urban atmosphere.

A Giant Fallen Beast

A piece from Slinkachu's 'Little People' series, featuring two miniature figurines—a man in a blue shirt and hat holding hands with a small child in pink—standing at the edge of a large, dark hole in a textured white wall. The contrast between the figurines' bright colors and the ominous darkness of the hole creates a sense of adventure and mystery.

A Timeless Tale of Friendship Immortalized in Antwerp

Content warning: Discover the moving sculpture of Nello and Patrasche in Antwerp, Belgium—a timeless tribute to love, loyalty, and friendship inspired by A Dog of Flanders.

A touching sculpture of Nello and Patrasche, characters from the novel A Dog of Flanders, lying together under a cobblestone blanket. The artwork by Batist Vermeulen, also known as Tist, is located in Antwerp, Belgium, near the Cathedral of Our Lady. The sculpture symbolizes enduring friendship and resilience, set against a vibrant urban backdrop with historic architecture

In the heart of Antwerp, Belgium, a touching sculpture by artist Batist Vermeulen, also known as Tist, brings to life the beloved story of Nello and his loyal dog Patrasche.

Inspired by the 1872 novel A Dog of Flanders by Marie Louise de la Ramée (pseudonym Ouida), this poignant artwork has become a symbol of enduring friendship and resilience.

The Story Behind the Sculpture

Set in Antwerp, the novel follows the bond between Nello, an orphaned boy, and Patrasche, an abandoned cart dog. Their journey of love and struggle culminates in a heart-wrenching moment inside the Cathedral of Our Lady, where the two find solace together in their final moments.

The sculpture, located near the Cathedral, captures this emotional scene with Nello and Patrasche lying under a blanket seamlessly integrated into the square’s cobblestone design. It’s a powerful reminder of the hardships they faced and the strength of their connection.

A heartwarming sculpture of Nello and Patrasche, from the novel A Dog of Flanders, lying together under a cobblestone blanket. Created by artist Batist Vermeulen (Tist), the artwork is located in Antwerp, Belgium, near the Cathedral of Our Lady. The intricate gothic cathedral facade forms a stunning backdrop, highlighting the deep connection between the characters in this poignant public artwork.

A Global Symbol of Friendship

While rooted in Belgium, the story of Nello and Patrasche gained immense popularity in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, largely thanks to a 1970s anime adaptation. This cultural resonance has made the sculpture a must-visit destination for international travelers, particularly from these countries.

A Monument for All

Batist Vermeulen’s work is more than a tribute to a cherished story. It speaks to universal themes of love, loyalty, and perseverance, resonating deeply with all who encounter it.

Plan Your Visit

If you’re in Antwerp, this touching artwork is a can’t-miss destination. Located at the foot of the Cathedral of Our Lady, it’s a place to reflect on the beauty of friendship and the timeless stories that unite us all.

Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed (30 Photos)

I love stumbling upon art that feels like a hidden gem—those incredible sculptures that stop you in your tracks and make you wonder, “How did I not know this existed?”

From massive figures seemingly rising from the earth to intricate works that play with gravity, these sculptures redefine what’s possible. Join me on a journey through 30 of the most amazing sculptures around the world, each with its own story and artistry that you probably didn’t know was out there.
More: Sculptures With True Creativity (12 Photos)
1. The Statue of King Arthur, located in Tintagel, England, is a striking bronze sculpture by artist Rubin Eynon.

Erected in 2016, this statue stands on the cliffs of Tintagel Castle, a site steeped in Arthurian legend. The sculpture, named “Gallos” (meaning “power” in Cornish), depicts a cloaked and crowned King Arthur holding his sword, with his body appearing to merge with the landscape.
This artwork symbolizes the enduring power and mystery of the Arthurian legends that are deeply rooted in the area.

2. Albert György’s sculpture, Melancholy, captures the emptiness left by grief.

As John Maddox eloquently states, “We may look as if we carry on with our lives as before… but this emptiness is how we all feel… all the time.”
3. Christ of the Abyss is an extraordinary bronze statue created by Guido Galletti in 1954.

This unique piece rests on the seabed of the Mediterranean Sea, nestled between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Submerged beneath the azure waters, it continues to captivate divers and visitors with its serene and mystical presence.
4. This colossal sculpture was created nearly 450 years ago by Flemish sculptor Giambologna as a symbol of Italy’s Apennine mountains. Standing at nearly 14 meters (45 ft) tall, it was commissioned by Francesco de Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1579.

Positioned above a pond, the statue features a chamber in its head where Francesco would sit and fish at night. When a fire was lit inside, the Colossus’s eyes glowed red, and smoke billowed from its nostrils, creating a striking visual effect.

5. The Christ the Redeemer statue, standing atop Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks.

This 30-meter (98 ft) tall statue, with arms stretching 28 meters (92 ft) wide, overlooks the city, symbolizing peace and welcoming all with open arms. Completed in 1931 and designed by French sculptor Paul Landowski and Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, it has become a symbol of Christianity around the globe and an enduring image of Brazil.

6. Not the most amazing statue, but definitely an amazing story. In Istanbul, Turkey, they made a statue to honor the famous stray cat (Tombili) that used to sit in this position and watch the passers by.

One month after its installation the sculpture went missing. A comment from Turkey MP Tuncay Özkan: “They stole the Tombili statue. They are enemies of everything beautiful. All they know is hate, tears and war”. The statue was safely returned a short time later. More photos here.
7. This eagle sculpture is the world’s largest bird statue, created by Indian artist Rajiv Anchal.

Located at Jatayu Earth’s Center in Kerala, India, the sculpture took a decade to complete. Spanning 200 feet in length, 150 feet in width, and 70 feet in height, this colossal work of art depicts the mythical eagle Jatayu from the Indian epic, Ramayana.
8. This stunning marble sculpture, Ajax and Cassandra, was crafted in 2022 by renowned Italian contemporary artist Jago.

The piece beautifully captures the dramatic moment between the Greek hero Ajax and the Trojan priestess Cassandra.
9. Sendai Daikannon in Japan, the eighth-tallest statue in the world at 100 meters (330 ft).

Its serene, watchful presence overlooks the quiet urban landscape, creating a striking contrast between its massive spiritual form and the everyday city life below.
10. The great challenge by Nicolas Lavarenne. Antibes, French Riviera.

This striking bronze sculpture depicts a dynamic, elongated figure balancing on the edge of a cliff, arms outstretched as if preparing to leap into the vast blue sea below.
11. This is how the Statue of Unity in India looks like. It’s the tallest statue in the world: standing at 182 meters (597 ft) tall, it’s nearly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty.

14. Leshan Giant Buddha in China (800 AD) At 71 meters (233 ft) tall, this is the tallest pre-modern statue on Earth.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is carved into the cliffside in Leshan, Sichuan, China, overlooking the convergence of three rivers.
15. Close-up views of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s marble statue of David, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy.

The dynamic sculpture captures the biblical hero mid-action, winding up to sling a stone. Bernini’s David is depicted with intense focus, furrowed brows, and clenched lips, conveying determination. The statue’s muscular arms and detailed hands grip the twisted ropes of the sling, showcasing Bernini’s skill in portraying tension and movement in marble. This statue contrasts Michelangelo’s famous David by capturing the hero in the midst of battle rather than in a calm, contemplative stance.
16. The Kiss of Death is a marble sculpture made in 1930 and found in Poblenou Cemetery, Barcelona.

This emotionally intense sculpture is renowned for its depiction of the delicate boundary between life and death, symbolized by Death’s kiss.
17. The Weight of Thought, bronze sculptures by Thomas Lerooy.
18. Victor Noir’s grave in Père-Lachaise cemetery, created by Patrick Magaud in 1984, has gained fame not for Noir’s journalistic work but for the legend surrounding his death and burial site.

Noir was a journalist shot dead, and his grave features a full-sized bronze statue of him lying down, as if recently shot. Over time, the statue became a fertility symbol.
Legend has it that kissing the statue on the lips, leaving a flower in Victor’s hat, and rubbing the genital area enhances fertility, improves one’s sex life, or helps find a husband within a year. This has led to the lips and trousers’ bulge on the statue becoming noticeably shiny from repeated contact.
In 2004, a fence was erected around the grave to prevent this practice, but public protest led to its removal. Victor Noir’s grave remains one of the most visited and talked-about monuments in Père-Lachaise.
19. The amazing handkerchief detail in this marble statue made by French sculptor Louis Philippe Mouchy in 1781.

Featuring a highly realistic handkerchief carved to appear as delicate lace, draped around the neck of the figure. The sculpture captures the fine details of the lacework, folds, and textures, showcasing Mouchy’s skill in replicating soft fabrics in hard marble, a testament to his mastery of the medium. The statue also displays the figure’s elaborate curls and formal attire, highlighting the elegance and refinement typical of 18th-century French sculpture.
20. The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, a renowned Baroque sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, located in the Cornaro Chapel of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome.

This intricate marble sculpture depicts Saint Teresa of Ávila in a moment of religious ecstasy, her face expressing both pain and bliss as an angel holds a golden spear poised above her. Radiant golden rays crafted from gilded bronze descend from above, symbolizing divine light and adding dramatic intensity to the scene.
21. Luo Li Rong is a contemporary artist renowned for crafting hyper-realistic clay and bronze sculptures.
22. The Dignity statue in South Dakota, a stunning 50-foot-tall sculpture of a Native American woman draped in a star quilt.

The statue features a blend of metal and vibrant blue diamond shapes that catch the light, symbolizing the cultural heritage and spirit of the Lakota and Dakota people. The woman’s expression is serene, with her arms outstretched as if embracing the landscape around her.
24. Freedom Sculpture, Philadelphia

“I wanted to create a sculpture almost anyone, regardless of their background, could look at and instantly recognize that it is about the idea of struggling to break free. This sculpture is about the struggle for achievement of freedom through the creative process” — Zenos Frudakis:
25. The vision of Constantine by Bernini is arguably one of the most underrated sculpture in art history.

Gian Lorenzo revolutionized the art form by infusing unprecedented movement into stone.
26. The Mud Maid by Sue Hill, located in the Lost Garden of Heligan, Cornwall, UK.

Depending on the time of the year, the mud maid’s hair and clothes change when the seasonal plants and moss grow over the sculpture.
More: Mud Maid – Living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill (5 photos and video).
27. Departure, a stunning bronze sculpture by artist George Lundeen, highlighted by the frost.

The sculpture is subtly highlighted by a layer of frost, enhancing the scene with a sense of cold and quiet intimacy, as if capturing a moment of departure or waiting.
28. The Resting Boxer, crafted more than 2,000 years ago, is one of the most realistic sculptures ever made and one of the finest examples of bronze sculptures to have survived from the ancient world.

It was excavated in Rome in 1885. Its incredible features, such as its pose, gaze, broken nose, cauliflower ears, scarred face, and bruised eyes, have been enchanting the world ever since.
30. The mesmerizing details of The West Wind, a surreal marble sculpture by American artist Thomas Ridgeway Gould.

Gould’s masterpiece likely drew inspiration from Percy Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind,” in which the west wind serves as an allegory for the cyclical nature of change and revolution:

9 Hilarious Gargoyle Statues: Medieval Humor!

Content warning: Discover 9 remarkable gargoyle statues that blend medieval humor with Gothic artistry and functionality. Explore the fascinating history and unique designs of these iconic sculptures.

521588

Step into the world of Gothic architecture, where humor and functionality converge in stone!

Gargoyle statues, often seen perched on cathedrals and churches, are more than just whimsical stone creatures – they are masterpieces of medieval artistry designed with a practical purpose in mind. These incredible sculptures not only served as water spouts but also conveyed medieval humor and imaginative craftsmanship. Explore nine of the most astonishing gargoyles and their fascinating blend of art and function.

A unique gargoyle sculpture known as 'The Peeker of Conques' at the Abbey of Sainte-Foy in Conques, France, dating from around 1107. The sculpture shows a figure with its hands gripping the edge of the stone, peeking out from the structure. This playful and humorous gargoyle is an example of medieval artisans' creativity, blending function as a water spout with whimsical, fantastical expression. ‘The Peeker of Conques’ at Abbey of Sainte Foy, Conques, France (c. 1107)

Guarding from Above – The Art and Purpose of Gargoyles

Art and Function Gargoyles are not just captivating artistic elements on buildings, particularly churches, but they also serve a practical purpose. While their gothic style is similar to grotesques, gargoyles have an open mouth to help drain away rainwater. A groove is cut along the top of the statue, channeling rainwater through the gargoyle’s open mouth and onto the roads below. This ingenious design helps protect the building’s stone walls from erosion.

A small grotesque creature biting the ear of a larger gargoyle at the roof of Salisbury Cathedral, UK. This whimsical and humorous gargoyle is an excellent example of medieval artists' use of playful expressions in Gothic architecture, blending function as a water spout with artistic and symbolic elements. A small grotesque is biting a bigger gargoyle, the roof of Salisbury Cathedral, UK.

Unraveling the Origin of the Word “Gargoyle”

The word “gargoyle” has its roots in the French word “gargouille,” which translates to “throat.” Gargouille is also associated with an old French legend featuring a dragon named La Gargouille. This fearsome creature had a long, twisted neck, a gaping mouth with powerful jaws, terrifying eyes, and massive wings. It lived in a cave near the River Seine and wreaked havoc on the nearby town of Rouen. Eventually, a Christian priest named Romanus defeated the dragon, and its head and neck were displayed at the village entrance as a warning. This legend inspired the carving of dragon heads on buildings and water spouts, leading to the creation of the gargoyles we see today.

521590

The Rich History of Gargoyles

Gargoyles have a long and fascinating history, becoming particularly popular in European churches during the 1200s. The oldest known gargoyle on a building dates back to the 13th century and is located in Kayseri, Turkey. Ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks also carved gargoyles to serve as drain spouts on their buildings.

521592

Gargoyles vs. Grotesques: The Common Misconception

Many people mistakenly believe that gargoyles and grotesques are the same thing. However, while grotesques encompass all decorative architectural creatures, gargoyles always have functioning drainage conduits. Thus, not all grotesques are gargoyles, but all gargoyles are grotesques.

521594 The Alien gargoyle at Paisley Abbey.

The Restoration of Paisley Abbey’s Gargoyles

In 1991, 12 of Paisley Abbey’s gargoyles were replaced due to severe deterioration. Among the new set of gargoyles, there are “see no evil,” “speak no evil,” “hear no evil,” and even an “alien.” The Alien gargoyle now sits above the arch doorway of the abbey, adding an intriguing modern touch to this historic site.

521596

The Timeless Allure of Gargoyles

Gargoyles have captured the imagination of people for centuries, serving as both artistic masterpieces and functional elements in architecture. Their rich history and the legends surrounding their origins continue to fascinate us, making them an enduring symbol of the Gothic era.

How Knitted Street Art is Brightening Cities Worldwide

Knitted street art, sometimes called guerrilla crochet, is a fun and creative way people are changing their neighborhoods.

Instead of using spray paint or drawing, these artists use yarn to decorate everyday things like trees, benches, and bikes. They turn plain spaces into colorful and eye-catching works of art. This type of art combines the coziness of handmade crafts with the boldness of outdoor art. It’s not just about making things look pretty — it’s about adding happiness, color, and a sense of togetherness to our streets.
For some truly inspiring knitted street art, check out the works of artists like B-Arbeiten and Agata Olek (Olek). Their creative installations have transformed urban spaces around the world, showcasing just how powerful yarn can be in reshaping public spaces.
