Fluorescent Isometric Forms

Aakash Nihalani is an American street artist who creates fluorescent isometric forms. His 3D works are made with luminescent tape, often mounted upon walls or other static structures, jump out of their environment, creating optical illusions.

It’s an amazing kind of urban trompe l’oeil.

Lelo Art

Lelo is a Brazilian street artist from Copacabana. He is one of the most recognizable street artists in Rio and is quickly gaining recognition around the world.

His work is bold and thought provoking, unconventional and innovative in its blending of the street art medium with fable-like forms of birds, fishes, and wolves.

Colosso dell’ Appennino

Within the park of Villa Demidoff (north of Florence, Italy), there is a gigantic 16th century sculpture known as Colosso dell’Appennino, or the Appennine Colossus. The brooding structure was first erected in 1580 by Italian sculptor Giambologna. Like a guardian of the pond in front of him, the giant is in an endless watchful pose, perched atop his earthy seat.

His presence is the real connection between man & nature.

1,000 Rosen

Located in Zweibrücken, Germany, The Rose Garden of Princess Hildegard of Bavaria grows more than 60,000 roses of 2,000 varieties and, as a result, Zweibrücken is appropriately known as the City of Roses. In celebration of this alluring flower, German artist Ottmar Hörl developed a massive public art installation, entitled 1,000 Roses for Zweibrücken (1,000 Roses for Zweibrücken).

According to myth, a rose sprouts from the blood of the dying Adonis. If we retrace the rose in poetry – for example in the works of Anacreon, Angelus Silesius, William Shakespeare, Goethe, Heinrich Heine, Rainer Maria Rilke, Christian Morgenstern or Gertrude Stein – we encounter verses of wisdom about the deeper meaning of life – love, beauty, transience. The rose is ephemeral, its image eternal. The rose became a symbol of orientation for enlightenment, for inward and outward journeys, and has also been instrumentalized as a symbol of freedom.

Surtout ne prends pas froid

Surtout ne prends pas froid is an exhibition of the Canadian artist Maude Leonard-Constant.

Constructed out of styrofoam, paper, and watercolors, the installation mimics nature as it might look when set within the four walls of a gallery space. According to her bio, the artist’s sculptural and installation work “questions the difficult relationship we have with the representation of nature, and shows an acute interest for the western neurosis of framing.”
