What If LEGO Could Repair the World?
German artist Jan Vormann has turned the idea of fixing cracks in urban landscapes into a global movement with his Dispatchwork project. Using colorful LEGO bricks, Vormann repairs crumbling walls and structures, transforming decay into vibrant art. His playful installations, found in over 40 cities, challenge us to see imperfections as opportunities for creativity.

The Global Movement of LEGO Repairs
Vormann began Dispatchwork in Bocchignano, Italy, in 2007, and his project quickly spread worldwide. By filling gaps and cracks in aging buildings with LEGO bricks, his work contrasts the weathered tones of old structures with the bright colors of modern play. Some installations use just a few bricks, while others incorporate thousands, creating an eye-catching patchwork of color.

How Jan Vormann Turns Cracks Into Colorful Masterpieces
Each repair tells its own story, inviting viewers to reflect on urban decay and restoration. What makes Dispatchwork unique is its collaborative nature: passersby are often encouraged to participate, adding their own LEGO creations to the repairs. This transforms each artwork into a shared expression of creativity between the artist and the community.
LEGO Art That Inspires and Connects Communities
Jan Vormann’s project reminds us that art isn’t limited to galleries—it can be part of the everyday world. His work brings smiles to those who encounter it and sparks conversations about urban imperfections. It’s proof that even small creative gestures can leave a big impact.

Street Artist Näutil
By näutil in Saint-Pierre-Église, France.I was born and raised where lots of blockhaus was already there, but without tag or street art on it. They was like enormous rock virgin and at my 14 years old, we started, me and friends, to graff on it, to be proud or ashamed if it was not enough inventive or nice, well it’s like someone who started to learn walking among other who are too, it was fun, interesting, challenging and poetical too. – näutil

Street art has change my life step by step because I started to realize that I was able to realize kind of a dream, well, a strong inner project: it was possible for me to ‘’move’’ people in both ways: poetically (well I hope so at least time to time) and geographically. – näutil
On of my favorite anecdote : a kid was inside the blockhaus where I have painted a big elephant (7 meter high) and then his father was calling him and he answer “wait dad, I’m inside the elephant, I’m coming !”. Well, it is very rewarding to provoke that kind of poetry, to help kids or people to reconnected themselves with little small thing that make souls and desires happy or filled. – näutil

From Homer Simpson to Obelix: Oakoak’s Genius Street Art! (10 Photos)

Since 2006, OAKOAK has had streets, walls, sidewalks and roads as its playground.
Originally from Saint Etienne, he sticks his drawings in each of the places he crosses in order to create a smile in the pedestrian at the bend of a street where he does not expect it.
His approach consists of diverting urban elements, playing with flaws that at first glance seem of no particular interest, such as cracks in a wall. He thus adds his own vision, his own references which often relate to the geek universe. A way of imagining the urban space in a more poetic way.
From playful interactions with crosswalks to whimsical depictions of beloved cartoon characters like Homer Simpson and Obelix, Oakoak’s work brings a fresh perspective to the streets.
OAKOAK: For me street art has to use urban elements. It’s the most important thing for street art. Using and playing with things you find in the street.
