A rose handed from a wall in Spain. A hedgehog made from city waste in Montreal. Faces painted across homes in Caracas. A paper plane turned protest in Germany. A hug stretching across silos in Australia. A girl watching from an old façade in Neustrelitz. A tiny figure walking a chain in France. Eight works. Eight cities. Each one impossible to ignore.
2. Half Hedgehogg — Bordalo II in Montreal, Canada
A hedgehog made from scrap materials and painted detail. One side built from colored plastic and metal, the other side painted directly on the wall. More?: 22 photos – A Collection of Street Art by Bordalo II
A small figure walks on a real metal chain attached to a wall. The simple pink outfit contrasts with the grey concrete around it. More!: Lovely by Oakoak (10 Photos)
From cracked walls to twisted fences, these artists turned urban damage into delightful art. This collection features mosaic patchwork in Lyon, LEGO-infused stonework in Germany, and a charming book repair outside a library in Russia. Every photo shows how a simple intervention can spark imagination and breathe life into neglected spots.
A peeling wall becomes the body of a dog, with the missing plaster forming its shape. The line art shows the dog gently nuzzling a bird, with a heart drawn above them.
2. Girl With Band-Aids
On a cracked asphalt surface, a young girl sits in black-and-white, carefully placing oversized band-aids to “heal” the broken pavement beneath her.
3. LEGO Brick Repair — By Jan Vormann
A damaged stone wall is rebuilt using colorful LEGO bricks, creating a striking contrast between old and new materials in a playful visual patch.
4. The Stitch — Repair Art on Concrete Wall by ENDER in Paris, France
A vertical wall crack is creatively “stitched” together with red thread and paint. A painted figure at the base pulls the thread tight like a seamstress mending the wall.
A triangle-shaped pothole near a lamppost is filled with intricate mosaic tiles in blue, white, and red tones. It forms a circular pattern radiating outward.
A bent metal gate has been deformed as if a dog had leapt through it. A “Beware of Dog” sign is humorously placed on the warped bars.
7. Dancing Railing — Street Art by Oakoak
Rusted fence bars bent and painted to resemble two abstract human figures dancing, with added cartoon faces in pink, positioned against a stone building.
8. Book Wall — Samara Public Library in Yekaterinburg, Russia
Crumbled concrete at the base of a historic building is repaired with a stack of real books set in mortar, replacing missing bricks with bound literature.
9. The Crooked House of Windsor — Windsor, England
The Crooked House of Windsor was originally built in 1592 and later demolished in 1687 to make way for the neighboring Guildhall. A legal dispute forced the council to rebuild it on the same spot. To complete the reconstruction quickly, they used green, unseasoned oak wood with a high moisture content. As the wood dried, it warped and buckled, leaving the building with its characteristic lean. Once known as Market Cross House, it has served many purposes over the centuries, including a butcher shop and a teahouse. Today, its tilted form remains one of Windsor’s most recognizable sights.
These clever repairs show how creativity can restore more than just surfaces—it can change how we see the world around us. Whether with books, LEGO, thread, or tiles, these interventions prove that even damage can become part of a city’s beauty.
