"The heart is not a pump, it sets the rhythm"


Imagine the heart not as a relentless muscle, endlessly pushing blood through your veins, but as a masterful conductor, attuned to the subtlest needs of your body. Recent research suggests that this vital organ may be more of an energy regulator than a mere pump. It’s as if we’re looking at a painting and seeing only the frame, missing the masterpiece within.Consider the embryo, where blood begins its journey before the heart has even formed. This miraculous flow challenges our fundamental assumptions about circulation. It’s like discovering that rivers flowed before the mountains that fed them were born—a paradox that demands a shift in our thinking.


[...]

As we reconsider the heart’s role, a new model comes into focus—the heart as an impedance pump. Rather than generating all the force needed to circulate blood, the heart acts more like a sophisticated valve, regulating and enhancing the blood’s inherent momentum.Imagine a child on a swing. The heart doesn’t push the blood like a parent forcefully pushing the swing; rather, it provides well-timed, gentle nudges that amplify the blood’s natural oscillations. This model explains how the heart can circulate blood so efficiently with relatively thin walls, especially at its apex.

Consider the fact that the flow of blood, with viscosity five times higher than water, would put an immense strain on the heart if indeed the heart is really just a pump that forces great amounts of blood through tiny arteries and capillaries throughout the day.

Facinating read. It put the heart in a new perspective and challenge current thinking of what we believe we know. Always highly interesting when new ideas come to light that make sense and which inhabit the plausibility of truth. I hope they study this thesis at dept, because, if there is enough evidence to support it then we may finally begin to understand the cardiovascular diseases so many suffer and die from and get it fixed. For what we do today do not seem to help, we only treat the symptom not the root cause, it may add you a few year but it does not heal you.

i have a significant gap in my metal working capabilities with regard to heat treating that is going to require spending some money. there's no way around it if i want to make good quality hardened steel parts. yes you can kind of get away with using a torch for heat treating carbon steels but the air hardening chromium alloy steels require precise temperature control to achieve full hardness and toughness. it's basically impossible with a torch.

Rubrique : no pasaran.
La condamnation de Marine Le Pen et des membres du RN poursuivis devant le tribunal correctionnel de Paris était inéluctable. Dans tous ses aspects et en particulier celui de l’inéligibilité avec exécution provisoire.
Pour plusieurs raisons.
• La première et la principale, est celle de l’idéologie politique professée par la magistrature. Sociologiquement, celle-ci est massivement issue de la petite bourgeoisie urbaine, dont elle partage les modes de vie, la culture, les positions politiques, et les valeurs sociétales. Cela s’accompagne d’une véritable aversion pour les couches populaires (comme on l’a vu au moment de la féroce répression des gilets jaunes) et de la conviction qu’elle doit profiter de sa place dans les institutions et des pouvoirs qui sont les siens pour imposer sa morale à la société et en particulier pour le cas qui nous occupe, en faisant preuve elle aussi d’un antifascisme de pacotille.
• La deuxième raison est liée à l’insondable bêtise de la classe politique, terrorisée par l’accusation populiste du « tous pourris » et soucieuse de se faire pardonner, passe son temps à voter des textes répressifs contre les élus, persuadée qu’ils ne tomberont que sur le voisin. La possibilité d’exécution provisoire de la peine accessoires inéligibilité en violation du principe de la présomption d’innocence en est le plus consternant exemple
• La troisième résulte volonté déterminée du corps des magistrats de se transformer en pouvoir politique par la mise en place de jurisprudences parfaitement abusives qui placent les politiques à la merci de la justice. Qui entend contrôler non seulement leur probité (ce qui serait normal) mais surtout leurs activités politiques. L’affaire Marine Le Pen est de ce point de vue exemplaire, la possibilité de condamnation pour « détournement de fonds publics » de parlementaires est une hérésie juridique créée de toutes pièces par la Cour de cassation. L’activité politique d’un élu devrait relever du contrôle et de l’appréciation des électeurs. Il est désormais confisqué en amont par un corps autonome et partial devenu pouvoir politique, sans en avoir la légitimité démocratique.
Le juge est là pour arbitrer entre des intérêts contradictoires. En matière pénale, c’est entre la société représentée par le parquet autorité de poursuite et la personne poursuivie.
Le juge n’est pas là pour décider qui peut solliciter les suffrages de l’électeur souverain, en fonction de ses propres idées politiques, à l’aide de textes sollicités pour la circonstance et de jurisprudences qu’il s’est concoctées sur mesure

Finding the Perfect Mini Roller Coaster for Your Venue

Understanding the Market for Mini Roller Coasters


Mini roller coasters have become an essential attraction for amusement parks, family entertainment centers, and even indoor playgrounds. These rides offer thrills for younger riders and families who may not be ready for extreme coasters. As an amusement park operator or investor, finding the right mini roller coaster requires careful research into available models, costs, and suppliers.

One of the most iconic mini roller coasters is the wacky worm roller coaster, a fun and colorful ride often designed in the shape of a giant caterpillar. Due to its recognizable look and family-friendly appeal, it remains a top choice for smaller parks. However, various other models exist, each offering unique features to attract different audiences.

Exploring Global Manufacturers for Mini Coasters


When looking for a high-quality mini roller coaster (аттракцион гусеница
), it is best to start by researching top amusement ride manufacturers. Companies like Beston, Zamperla, SBF Visa Group, and Golden Horse produce some of the most reliable and innovative designs. Many of these companies offer customizable themes, allowing parks to match their roller coaster with their overall aesthetic.

What to Consider When Choosing a Manufacturer


  • Safety Standards – Ensure the ride meets international safety regulations, such as ASTM, EN, or ISO certification.
  • Customization Options – Look for manufacturers who allow modifications to track layout, color schemes, and train designs.
  • Installation Support – Some companies provide on-site installation and maintenance training.
  • Warranty and After-Sales Service – A reliable after-sales service can help prolong the ride's lifespan and ensure continuous operation.

By carefully evaluating different suppliers, park operators can invest in a durable and appealing mini coaster that meets their business goals.

Sourcing Mini Roller Coasters from Online Marketplaces


For those looking for cost-effective options, online B2B platforms like Alibaba, Made-in-China, and Global Sources provide access to various ride manufacturers. These marketplaces connect buyers with suppliers from around the world, offering competitive prices and bulk order discounts.

Tips for Buying from Online Marketplaces


  • Verify the Seller’s Reputation – Look for manufacturers with high ratings, verified business licenses, and positive customer reviews.
  • Request a Factory Tour – Some suppliers offer virtual or in-person factory tours to showcase their production capabilities.
  • Compare Pricing and Features – Review multiple listings to ensure you're getting the best value for the ride specifications you need.
  • Check Shipping and Import Regulations – Be aware of customs duties and transportation costs when ordering internationally.

While purchasing from an online platform can be cost-effective, buyers should remain cautious and conduct thorough due diligence before making any transactions.

Exploring Amusement Ride Auctions for Unique Deals


Another way to find mini roller coasters is by attending amusement ride auctions. Many parks upgrade their attractions regularly, selling off used rides in good condition at discounted prices. Auctions are a great place to find both classic designs like the wacky worm roller coaster and more modern mini coaster models.

Where to Find Ride Auctions


  • Local Government and Park Liquidation Sales – Many parks and entertainment centers hold liquidation events when they close or renovate.
  • Specialized Auction Houses – Companies like Rides 4 U and Ital International frequently host auctions for used amusement rides.
  • Online Auction Platforms – Websites like eBay or BidSpotter sometimes list second-hand carnival rides for sale.

Purchasing from an auction can provide excellent value, but buyers must carefully inspect the ride’s condition and factor in refurbishment costs if needed.

Second-Hand Market: A Budget-Friendly Solution


For smaller operators or those on a tight budget, the second-hand amusement ride ( аттракционы виды) market offers a practical alternative. Many ride suppliers refurbish and resell used roller coasters, ensuring they meet safety standards before resale.

Advantages of Buying a Second-Hand Mini Coaster


  • Lower Initial Investment – Pre-owned rides are significantly cheaper than new models.
  • Faster Delivery and Installation – Used rides are often ready for immediate shipment and require less lead time.
  • Environmentally Friendly – Reusing rides reduces waste and promotes sustainability in the amusement industry.

However, before purchasing a used mini roller coaster ( американские горки), buyers should request maintenance records, inspect structural integrity, and verify if replacement parts are available.

Choosing the Right Mini Coaster for Your Venue


Selecting the best mini roller coaster goes beyond price and availability. Park owners must consider factors such as:

  • Target Demographic – If catering to young children, a wacky worm roller coaster or a dragon-themed mini coaster may be ideal.
  • Space Requirements – Measure available space to determine if a compact track layout is necessary.
  • Ride Capacity – Higher capacity coasters can accommodate more riders per hour, improving profitability.
  • Theme Compatibility – Ensure the ride fits seamlessly within the park’s overall design.

By weighing these considerations, amusement park operators can invest in a mini roller coaster that enhances guest experience while ensuring a solid return on investment.

Conclusion: Making an Informed Purchase


Finding the perfect mini roller coaster requires careful research into manufacturers, online marketplaces, auctions, and second-hand sellers. Whether investing in a brand-new wacky worm roller coaster or purchasing a refurbished model, park owners should prioritize safety, affordability, and audience appeal. By leveraging multiple sourcing channels and thoroughly evaluating ride options, amusement park operators can bring exciting new attractions to their venues while maximizing profitability.

‘Part Of Your World’ The Disney Princess Ariel Cleaning Up

Ariel by Herr Nilsson at Mälaren in Stockholm, Sweden

First artwork from Herr Nilssons ‘Clean Street Art’ Series


By Herr Nilsson cooperation with Rena Mälaren in Stockholm, Sweden.

Herr Nilsson: “After many years of provocative street art around the world, I was looking for something new and meaningful closer to home. When a friend presented the idea of creating something unique from scrap found on the bed of lakes and waterways, therefore highlighting a very important environmental issue, it immediately sounded just right. With the help of Rena Mälaren and an enormous number of hours later, the sculpture is finally ready to see the light of day!”
Herr Nilsson building Ariel in Stockholm, Sweden

Constructed from rubbish


Today Herr Nilsson revealed Ariel, entirely constructed from rubbish from Lake Mälaren in front of the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The rubbish is retrieved by Rena Mälaren, the non-profit organisation that specialises in retrieving garbage from the bottom of the lake. Ariel is the first sculpture in a ‘Clean Street Art’ series in Stockholm, an inspiring new initiative to protect our seas. More sculptures in this series will be installed in various public locations around Stockholm during summer.

  • Fredrik Johansson, Rena Mälaren cleaning in Västerås 2021 © Oskar Kihlborg

Ariel consists of mobile phones, cord phones, a vacuum cleaner, a sink, an oil barrel, a car tyre, a computer mouse, a watch, screws, and circuit boards. Key features such as Ariel’s hair are made from hoses, while her eyes are discarded CPU fans. Most notably, one of her raised middle fingers are represented by a knife, while the rocks situated at the front of the sculpture are old lead boat batteries, which are incredibly damaging to the environment.

Ariel and her soon-to-be companions are not only works of art, but symbols of the importance of
protecting our waters. For as long as she remains in position, Ariel can be seen with her two middle fingers up, saying F*** OFF to those who pollute the seas, oceans and waterways, day after day.

About Herr Nilsson


Herr Nilsson broke onto the international street art scene in 2012 when he painted a series of paintings titled ‘Dark Princesses’, including Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty armed with knives and pistols. The Disney princesses lurked around street corners in Stockholm where they appeared to wait for passers-by. As a result, Herr Nilsson was invited to a number of exhibitions in New York, Miami, London and Tel Aviv. The collectors of his work are found all over the world, among them being famous financiers and royalty.

Banksy’s Genius: 16 Powerful Street Art Photos and Quotes That Hit Hard!


A split-image featuring two iconic Banksy street artworks. On the left, "Dove of Peace" is stenciled on a concrete wall in Bethlehem, showing a white dove wearing a bulletproof vest with a red crosshair over its chest, holding an olive branch in its beak. A woman in a black hijab and pink-accented dress stands nearby, looking towards the mural. On the right, "NOLA (Rain Girl)" is painted on the corner of a building in New Orleans, depicting a young girl in a black dress holding an umbrella that paradoxically causes rain to pour down on her while she reaches out her hand to check for actual rain.

Few street artists have captured the world’s imagination like Banksy.


His signature stencil art and razor-sharp social commentary turn urban walls into powerful statements. Mysterious yet unmistakable, Banksy’s work challenges authority, sparks debate, and refuses to be ignored.

In this post, we’ve gathered 16 of his most striking street art photos—each paired with a memorable Banksy quote. Dive into the world of the elusive artist whose work continues to disrupt, inspire, and redefine the streets.

Banksy’s Gaza Murals Are More Relevant Than Ever

In the rubble-strewn streets of Gaza, an unexpected figure emerges – a playful kitten adorned with a sassy red bow.


Banksy‘s kitten, with its wild fur and wide-eyed curiosity, feels like a tongue-in-cheek nod to resilience amidst chaos. It’s as if the kitten is saying, “I’ve got nine lives, and not even this rubble can phase me!” Yet, the ruins around tell a deeper, sadder tale of a city bearing the scars of conflict.

In just one image, Banksy manages to capture Gaza’s heartbreaking reality and sprinkle it with a dash of hope and humor. It’s a bittersweet blend of artistry, offering a momentary escape while urging us not to forget.

Banksy: A local man came up and said ‘Please – what does this mean?’ I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens.

Banksy: Gaza is often described as ‘the world’s largest open air prison’ because no-one is allowed to enter or leave. But that seems a bit unfair to prisons – they don’t have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost every day.

Martín Ron: “Magic, illusion, reflections and gaze are some key words that I was collecting from the people who come to tell me their interpretations of my new work 💫

📍Located at Av. San Martin 185, Bernal. The best thing is to see it live.

✨ In these times full of uncertainty, I hope that this huge dividing wall works as a meeting and reflection point. I highlight the enormous effort of real estate developers who understand that the exit is also for art 🙌🏼 Hopefully it is contagious, that they are more encouraged to build bridges with their community. Bringing breezes of hope to the people and keeping this noble activity alive.”

By Martín Ron in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Argentina.

Martín Ron: It is the second work of my series called “reflections”, which evokes the historical downspout of the Paraná River. A situation that surprised me when I visited this beautiful town. Here Olivia invites us to reflect on issues of vital importance such as the situation of the River that gives life to much of this region.

Although I began to paint this mural last year, I opportunely present this work today because the panorama is less encouraging and the consequences are even greater. Droughts and fires in Corrientes put the lives of many people, many species and natural ecosystems at risk.

This river has a long history and it is the lowest level of the last 80 years. We do not know if it is irreversible for the 14th longest river in the world and which used to be the tenth largest (for those who know Guaraní mythology, there is a hidden Yaguaron).

Banksy’s Hidden Identity Revealed?


Split image showing Banksy's iconic partially shredded artwork 'Girl with Balloon' ('Love is in the Bin') displayed at Sotheby’s auction, alongside an anonymous figure in a hoodie sitting beside a modified London Underground sign reading 'BANKSY,' highlighting the mystery surrounding the street artist's hidden identity.

An Insight Into the World of Street Art


Banksy’s artworks continue to attract attention worldwide, particularly following recent revelations about his identity. In this extraordinary BBC interview, Banksy shares rare insights about his art and personal life. Could this finally reveal the mystery of his identity? Watch the full interview: BANKSY – The lost interview

A statue of Winston Churchill modified with humorous and rebellious touches. The statue, crafted from dark material, features a bright green patch of grass styled as a mohawk on the head, adding a punk aesthetic. Additionally, red paint drips down from the mouth, resembling blood. The background showcases leafless tree branches, emphasizing the outdoor setting. The alterations create a provocative and satirical commentary, blending historical reverence with modern rebellious art.

A Glimpse into Banksy’s Artistic World


The interview delves into Banksy’s “Turf War” exhibition, a hallmark of his anti-establishment themes. This 2003 London show was a spectacle of defiance, showcasing graffitied police vehicles and live animals adorned with distinctive police patterns, not to mention the famous Winston Churchill portrait with a twist.

Banksy’s artwork Trolley Hunters, a satirical piece depicting three hunters crouching in a savanna-like landscape, aiming their primitive weapons at two shopping carts. The minimalist background of a clear blue sky and sandy terrain emphasizes the absurdity of the scene, critiquing modern consumer culture and its misplaced priorities.

The Name Revelation


In a candid moment, the interviewer, Nigel Wrench, inquires about using Banksy’s real name. The response? “Robbie.” While this opens up possibilities (could he be Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, or perhaps Robin Gunningham?), it’s a rare peek behind the curtain of the elusive artist.

A Banksy mural featuring the phrase "If graffiti changed anything - it would be illegal" painted in bold red letters on a white, cracked wall. Below the text, a black stencil of a rat appears, holding a paintbrush with red paint dripping from it, as though the rat created the graffiti. The image critiques the societal view of graffiti and its perceived impact on change.

Banksy on Graffiti and Art


Banksy’s views on graffiti are clear: it’s vandalism if it’s illegal, but that’s part of its charm. He sees the city as a playground for expression, where painting and repainting are part of an ongoing dialogue. His approach to art? Quick and impactful, much like the fleeting nature of street art itself.

A Banksy artwork titled "Game Changer" showing a young boy kneeling on the floor, wearing overalls and a t-shirt, joyfully holding a toy nurse superhero in the air. The nurse wears a face mask, a cape, and a Red Cross emblem on her uniform, symbolizing healthcare workers as heroes. In a trash bin beside him, traditional superhero toys like Batman and Spider-Man lie discarded, highlighting a shift in societal values. The artwork is rendered in black and white, with the Red Cross emblem standing out in red.

Banksy’s Take on the Art Establishment


Banksy remains detached from the traditional art world, expressing disinterest in the ‘Brit Art’ movement and a pointed avoidance of selling to figures like Charles Saatchi. His focus is on art that resonates with the public, rather than seeking approval from the elite.

Two Sotheby’s staff members, wearing white gloves and blue masks, carefully hold Banksy's partially shredded artwork, formerly known as "Girl with Balloon," now titled "Love is in the Bin." The piece is encased in an ornate golden frame, with the bottom portion of the canvas shredded and hanging beneath. The upper part of the artwork features a red heart-shaped balloon floating against a blank background, emphasizing the contrast between creation and destruction. The scene is set in a gallery, highlighting the surreal and iconic nature of Banksy’s work.

Banksy’s Art in the Market


Despite his disconnection from the art market, Banksy’s canvases are highly sought after, fetching high prices. His reaction? A mix of surprise and indifference, hinting at a disconnection between the artist’s intentions and the commercial value of his work.

From Homer Simpson to Obelix: Oakoak’s Genius Street Art Transforms Everyday Urban Scenes (10 Photos)


A side-by-side collage of two street art pieces by Oakoak. On the left, a rusted metal fence is transformed into a dancing figure with painted smiling faces, blending decay with charm. On the right, a playful depiction of Obelix from the Asterix comics integrates with a crosswalk, with the white stripes representing the menhir he carries. Both pieces showcase Oakoak's ability to creatively adapt urban elements into whimsical art.

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.

“VEN A LA LUZ” (Come in to Light) by Daniel Popper in Tulum, Mexico. The portal symbolizes our deep connection with nature and ourselves.

Daniel Popper: This piece has become so popular in Tulum it causes traffic jams with a constant line down the road for photos. We only realized how intense it is when we went to do the repairs in November. The selfie culture is a phenomenon for sure, but regardless it was beautiful to see so many people from all over the world resonating with the artwork and illustrating the power of interactive art.

Martín Ron: “This is the first mural in height that inaugurates the brand new program #artedenuestragente of Municipalidad de Córdoba. It is titled “Olivia looks at the sky” and it reminds us that a few meters from the mural, the Astronomical Center of Córdoba was founded 150 years ago. First Observatory in the Southern Hemisphere from which the neighborhood receives its name Observatorio Astronómico CBA. This work was made in collaboration with my friend Vicar who portrayed my favorite model Olivia like no one else (Thanks mom, dad and aunt!)”.

The mural, painted on a 35-meter-high water tank, features vibrant blue hues and intricate detailing, making the entire structure appear as if it’s filled with water. The idyllic neighborhood and bright sky in the background amplify the captivating realism of the scene.

When Street Art Meets Nature (40 Photos)


A split-image showcasing two stunning examples of street art merging with nature. On the left, a mural of a sleeping child painted on a concrete wall in Ecuador by El Decertor. The child rests peacefully with a stuffed hedgehog, while real creeping vines extend over the artwork, resembling a natural blanket. On the right, a mural by Fábio Gomes Trindade in Brazil features a young girl with expressive eyes and a warm smile. Above her head, a vibrant bougainvillea tree naturally forms the appearance of her afro-textured hair, blending art and nature seamlessly.

When street art meets nature, the results are stunning. Some artists blend their murals seamlessly with the landscape, while others use real plants to bring their work to life.


In Ecuador, El Decertor painted a mural that merges with the natural surroundings. In Martinique, Nuxuno Xän turned a tree trunk into part of a painted figure. In New York, OGMillie created a floral mural that brightens the urban space. In Brazil, Fábio Gomes Trindade’s portraits use real bougainvillea as hair, while in Poland, Natalia Rak painted a girl appearing to water a living tree.

These works show how street art and nature can come together in unexpected and beautiful ways.

Martín Ron:

This beautiful postcard is now accompanied by two giant murals ✨⁣
⁣
🖌️I finished the new mural a few days ago, exactly one year after that decree that forced us to stay in our homes🦠 It was something unthinkable, not only because they are separated by a street away and for a very particular year, but they are the evidence of two very different worlds, the one full of hugs and the new one that still gives me chills.
⁣
I also want to tell you what it meant for my career to paint on such a large scale and after so long 💥 The first of 50 meters and the second of 65 meters, are the highest in Argentina and the region (help me confirm this?) ⁣
⁣
⏳And as time continues to run, one more comes to complete the trilogy. Two years after the first we will meet again, March 2022 is the date 🙏 Hopefully it will be in another different world. A healthier third world, with more hugs and above all with much more freedom than the previous ones.
⁣
🔥Thanks to @vidaldesarrollos to my assistants @mcparri and @nicolasdicianno to @elgalgopinta and @joacaba and @franciscobuduba for the audiovisual coverage.

Unmasking Banksy? The TV Interview Where He Lets Down His Guard

For decades, Banksy has captivated the world with provocative street art that is both enigmatic and insightful.


A BBC Radio 4 special titled “The Banksy Story” unveiled a rare audio interview with the artist, originally recorded in 2003. In this enlightening conversation, Banksy may have hinted at his true identity with a simple, yet intriguing answer – “Robbie.”

This interview delves deep into Banksy’s early exhibition, “Turf War” which became notable for its audacious display of graffitied police vehicles and a uniquely defaced portrait of Winston Churchill. Through his candid discussion, Banksy reflects on the philosophies that shape his art, emphasizing its transitory nature and his indifferent stance towards the commercial art market.

For a deeper exploration of Banksy’s rare interview and his impact on the art world, go here.

Artworks from the exhibition “Turf War”:

Artwork by Banksy featuring a cartoon-style bluebird perched on a branch, holding the pin of a hand grenade with its beak, set against a serene pastoral background with a cottage and lush trees. The juxtaposition of the peaceful scene with the bird's dangerous accessory reflects Banksy's signature commentary on innocence, violence, and the unexpected in modern society.

Bird and Grenade

Banksy artwork featuring a mischievous cartoon mouse holding a lit match and dynamite, set within a vintage-style pastoral painting. The mouse’s graffiti-like style contrasts sharply with the classic landscape, complete with cottages and trees, framed in an ornate golden frame. This piece exemplifies Banksy's approach of blending traditional art with contemporary, subversive elements, challenging norms and adding humor and social commentary.

Crude Oil Jerry

Street art piece depicting two people wearing vintage diving helmets, sitting across from each other at a table, each holding a glass. The artwork is characterized by drips of paint, giving it a raw, unfinished look, while a small pink flower adds a touch of color and tenderness to the scene. The piece evokes themes of isolation and connection, possibly hinting at barriers in communication or intimacy.

Banksy’s Hidden Identity Revealed?


Split image showing Banksy's iconic partially shredded artwork 'Girl with Balloon' ('Love is in the Bin') displayed at Sotheby’s auction, alongside an anonymous figure in a hoodie sitting beside a modified London Underground sign reading 'BANKSY,' highlighting the mystery surrounding the street artist's hidden identity.

An Insight Into the World of Street Art


Banksy’s artworks continue to attract attention worldwide, particularly following recent revelations about his identity. In this extraordinary BBC interview, Banksy shares rare insights about his art and personal life. Could this finally reveal the mystery of his identity? Watch the full interview: BANKSY – The lost interview

A statue of Winston Churchill modified with humorous and rebellious touches. The statue, crafted from dark material, features a bright green patch of grass styled as a mohawk on the head, adding a punk aesthetic. Additionally, red paint drips down from the mouth, resembling blood. The background showcases leafless tree branches, emphasizing the outdoor setting. The alterations create a provocative and satirical commentary, blending historical reverence with modern rebellious art.

A Glimpse into Banksy’s Artistic World


The interview delves into Banksy’s “Turf War” exhibition, a hallmark of his anti-establishment themes. This 2003 London show was a spectacle of defiance, showcasing graffitied police vehicles and live animals adorned with distinctive police patterns, not to mention the famous Winston Churchill portrait with a twist.

Banksy’s artwork Trolley Hunters, a satirical piece depicting three hunters crouching in a savanna-like landscape, aiming their primitive weapons at two shopping carts. The minimalist background of a clear blue sky and sandy terrain emphasizes the absurdity of the scene, critiquing modern consumer culture and its misplaced priorities.

The Name Revelation


In a candid moment, the interviewer, Nigel Wrench, inquires about using Banksy’s real name. The response? “Robbie.” While this opens up possibilities (could he be Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, or perhaps Robin Gunningham?), it’s a rare peek behind the curtain of the elusive artist.

A Banksy mural featuring the phrase "If graffiti changed anything - it would be illegal" painted in bold red letters on a white, cracked wall. Below the text, a black stencil of a rat appears, holding a paintbrush with red paint dripping from it, as though the rat created the graffiti. The image critiques the societal view of graffiti and its perceived impact on change.

Banksy on Graffiti and Art


Banksy’s views on graffiti are clear: it’s vandalism if it’s illegal, but that’s part of its charm. He sees the city as a playground for expression, where painting and repainting are part of an ongoing dialogue. His approach to art? Quick and impactful, much like the fleeting nature of street art itself.

A Banksy artwork titled "Game Changer" showing a young boy kneeling on the floor, wearing overalls and a t-shirt, joyfully holding a toy nurse superhero in the air. The nurse wears a face mask, a cape, and a Red Cross emblem on her uniform, symbolizing healthcare workers as heroes. In a trash bin beside him, traditional superhero toys like Batman and Spider-Man lie discarded, highlighting a shift in societal values. The artwork is rendered in black and white, with the Red Cross emblem standing out in red.

Banksy’s Take on the Art Establishment


Banksy remains detached from the traditional art world, expressing disinterest in the ‘Brit Art’ movement and a pointed avoidance of selling to figures like Charles Saatchi. His focus is on art that resonates with the public, rather than seeking approval from the elite.

Two Sotheby’s staff members, wearing white gloves and blue masks, carefully hold Banksy's partially shredded artwork, formerly known as "Girl with Balloon," now titled "Love is in the Bin." The piece is encased in an ornate golden frame, with the bottom portion of the canvas shredded and hanging beneath. The upper part of the artwork features a red heart-shaped balloon floating against a blank background, emphasizing the contrast between creation and destruction. The scene is set in a gallery, highlighting the surreal and iconic nature of Banksy’s work.

Banksy’s Art in the Market


Despite his disconnection from the art market, Banksy’s canvases are highly sought after, fetching high prices. His reaction? A mix of surprise and indifference, hinting at a disconnection between the artist’s intentions and the commercial value of his work.

Street Artist SATR


Mountain lion mural by SATR at 10 Rue du Dr Hermite in Grenoble, France for Street Art Fest Grenoble Alpes. Photos by Andrea Berlese.

Satr: My draft concept is; A lot of things have happened in the past year, and each thing will have different answers in different positions. I drew a mountain lion. The flame is its consciousness. It ignites in front of it and surrounds it in a circle. I hope that anyone who sees this work will find a peaceful mood. Face these things calmly.

About SATR: She works and lives in Guangzhou (China) and has been doing street art since 2013. Her original spray painting atomization shape method makes her animals very dynamic, taking fog as the shape.

This is different from the realistic shaping of western oil painting, and deeply studies the permeability of graffiti spray paint, so that her works still have the charm of ink in addition to peeling off traditional Chinese painting tools.

SATR’s works can see the profound exuberance of western graffiti and the soft “XieYi “(traditional Chinese painting style in vivid expression and bold outline) brushwork of oriental painting, which runs through her works all the time. The signature of the ancient seal cutting style is the oriental imprint that she conveys to the outside world.

Swedish street artist Herr Nilsson is known for blending pop culture with a rebellious twist.


His works take familiar cartoon characters and place them in unexpected, often subversive situations. From childhood nostalgia to dark humor. Below are 21 photos of his street art along with a short interview.

1.

Interview with Herr Nilsson:

When, how and why did you become an artist?


I was pretty young when I found out that I was good at expressing myself in drawings, most often much better than in spoken words. I spend a lot of time drawing and when I was about 21 years old I decided to aim for the goal of being a professional artist.

2.

“Another doomed paradise” in Gili Air, Indonesia.

How do you see your role as an artist today?


To make people have a good laugh and start to think critical to norms at the same time. I want my art works to be like punches with a smile, hard and precise, but in a fun and good way. In contrast to all the visual commercials I like to do visual mind benders.

3.

“(R)evolution” in Ljusdal, Sweden for the show “Humans you are fucked”.

How would you describe your working method?


I’m almost constantly trying new ideas, sketching them in my mind until they are pretty much done, then I realize them in a painting or a sculpture. Most often I experiment with two strong symbolic things or characters that convey totally different messages. And then, when I put these two together in a painting or sculpture, the new meaning conveys something totally different. Something I would like to share with my audience.

4.

“Humans you are fucked”

Can you name some contemporary works of art or projects that inspire you?


Fat Porsche – Erwin Wurm

Pepsi Cola – Lana del Rey (Rick Nowels / Elizabeth Grant)

Piss Christ – Andres Serrano

Banksy – Napalm and Dismaland

Yoko Ono – Instruction paintings

Caravaggio – All of his paintings. I know he’s not contemporary but the story of his life is very fascinating and his painting skills were the best.

5.

“Snow White Robbery” on Tranebergsbron, Stockholm, Sweden.

How can artists be paid for their work and at the same time maintain a critical attitude towards the commercial art market and public funding partners?


Most often you can say “f*ck you” to people if you can laugh about it together. The collectors that buy my art, at least those that I have had the chance to talk to, are all persons that like critical thinking and satire. Provocative art is not for everybody but there are a lot of people out there that like it.

Sometimes you are lucky and get a win-win situation together with the client. For example my latest art work, the sculpture of Ariel is entirely constructed out of rubbish from Lake Mälaren. It was sold to a Swedish entrepreneur, Konrad Bergström, founder of a company, X Shore, which builds electrical boats. He has a strong interest in the environment and the waters in particular. All rubbish that the sculpture of Ariel is built from was retrieved by the non-profit organization Rena Mälaren that specializes in retrieving debris from the bottom of the lake. Konrad payed me a good amount of money for the sculpture and then I give back a major part of that income to Rena Mälaren to finance their ongoing work, and then I can finance constructing more sculptures and so on. I find this cycle being very good for all participants.

6.

“Sleeping Beauty under the Bridge” in Stockholm, Sweden.

What would you like to change in the street art world?


More and more cities around the world are commissioning big murals at boring buildings and many artists can make their living on this. This is very good of course. But it is also a trend that these murals are almost always made to be decorative and nice to everybody, like the music on a big commercial radio station. Without any provocative or critical thinking concepts at all, this street art will be nothing more than generic. I would say that I wish that the clients could be a little bit braver when they commissioned these murals.

The good part is of course that all of us still can do street art works without permission and stay free in our creativity.

Climate Change Addressed Through Street Art (16 Powerful Images)


Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet, and artists are using graffiti and street art as a powerful means to address this global crisis.


In today’s blog post, we’ll explore 16 awe-inspiring images that not only capture the urgency of climate change but also inspire us to take action in our daily lives.

1. Melting Ice: A Visual Reminder of Our Fragile Ecosystem


One powerful image that often appears in climate change-themed street art is the depiction of melting ice caps and glaciers. These striking visuals serve as a stark reminder of the rapid and devastating impact of global warming on our planet’s delicate ecosystems.

The ice sculptures, handcrafted by Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo, were set up in a public area by WWF Germany to show the direct effect of climate change in the Arctic on the whole planet and the future of humanity and nature:
By OakoakClimate Change: Tiny ice figurines draw attention to big problem

2. Endangered Species: The Fight to Preserve Biodiversity


Many artists use their talent to draw attention to the plight of endangered species, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts to protect Earth’s biodiversity. These emotive images remind us of the consequences of inaction and encourage us to support wildlife preservation.
By Louis Masai at Shoreditch Station in London, UK“The Wrong Amazon Is Burning” on the Amazon Tower in Berlin

3. Deforestation: The Disappearing Lungs of Our Planet


Street art that tackles deforestation brings attention to the alarming rate at which we are losing Earth’s precious forests – our planet’s lungs. These powerful images drive home the importance of preserving our natural resources and the urgent need for reforestation efforts.
By Dr Love at Upfest – In Bristol, EnglandMartín Ron: The causes? Many: Extreme climate change, drought, deforestation, reduction of wetlands and a lot of disinterest in asking ourselves questions. The consequences? Too many. This mural is part of a new series of murals in which I am working where the protagonist is the reflection. And how opportune to get involved to invite you to reflect on what happens when a river runs out of water.

4. Extreme Weather: The New Normal


As climate change worsens, extreme weather events have become increasingly common. Artists often depict these events in their work to illustrate the direct consequences of our changing climate and the urgency to act now.
Support – By Italian sculptor Lorenzo Quinn in Venice, Italy.

5. Rising Sea Levels: The Threat of Disappearing Coastlines


Rising sea levels pose a significant threat to coastal communities worldwide. Street art depicting submerged cities and landscapes can evoke a strong emotional response, emphasizing the need for immediate climate action to protect our planet’s future.
By Banksy: I don’t believe in global warming

6. Pollution: The Toxic Reality of Our Modern World


Graffiti and street art can serve as a powerful reminder of the consequences of unchecked pollution, from smog-filled skies to plastic-choked oceans. These images can inspire us to make sustainable choices and reduce our individual carbon footprints.
Street Art by HIJACK – A Collection (42 photos)CONDITIONAL LOVE – By SaRX 404 on Climate Change

7. Renewable Energy: The Path to a Cleaner Future


Many artists choose to showcase renewable energy solutions in their work, promoting a cleaner, greener future. By depicting solar panels and wind turbines, these images encourage us to support and invest in alternative energy sources.
Clean Energy – By TABBY

8. Sustainability: A Lifestyle Shift


Street art can inspire us to adopt more sustainable lifestyles by highlighting the benefits of eco-friendly practices, such as recycling, composting, and reducing waste. These images can motivate us to make simple, everyday changes to lessen our impact on the environment.
By Leon Keer: Nice 3D effect and interesting motifs on the cups if you look closer. Green – oil rigs and a polluted beach. Pink – a stranded broken abandoned boat. Brown – a dead moose. Blue – a far from equal meeting between settlers and Indians.

9. Climate Activism: The Power of Collective Action


Many artists use their work to celebrate and support climate activism, featuring images of protesters and powerful messages calling for change. These visuals remind us that our collective voices can make a difference in the fight against climate change.
Politicians Discussing Climate Change by Isaac Cordal

10. Hope: A Brighter Future Awaits


Lastly, climate change-themed street art often conveys a message of hope, depicting a brighter, greener future if we take action now. These uplifting images serve as a reminder that it’s not too late to make a positive impact on our planet’s health.
Interview with Swedish street artist Herr Nilsson (+18 artworks)

These 16 powerful images of graffiti and street art addressing climate change remind us of the urgency to act and inspire us to make a difference in our daily lives.


Whether it’s supporting renewable energy, reducing waste, or advocating for policy changes, each one of us has the power to contribute to the fight against climate change. Let these compelling visuals serve as a call to action, motivating us to protect our planet for generations to come.

Banksy’s Hidden Identity Revealed?


 An Insight Into the World of Street Art Banksy's artworks continue to attract attention worldwide, particularly following recent revelations about his identity. In this extraordinary BBC interview, Banksy shares rare insights about his art and personal li

Split image showing Banksy's iconic partially shredded artwork 'Girl with Balloon' ('Love is in the Bin') displayed at Sotheby’s auction, alongside an anonymous figure in a hoodie sitting beside a modified London Underground sign reading 'BANKSY,' highlighting the mystery surrounding the street artist's hidden identity.

An Insight Into the World of Street Art


Banksy’s artworks continue to attract attention worldwide, particularly following recent revelations about his identity. In this extraordinary BBC interview, Banksy shares rare insights about his art and personal life. Could this finally reveal the mystery of his identity? Watch the full interview: BANKSY – The lost interview

A statue of Winston Churchill modified with humorous and rebellious touches. The statue, crafted from dark material, features a bright green patch of grass styled as a mohawk on the head, adding a punk aesthetic. Additionally, red paint drips down from the mouth, resembling blood. The background showcases leafless tree branches, emphasizing the outdoor setting. The alterations create a provocative and satirical commentary, blending historical reverence with modern rebellious art.

A Glimpse into Banksy’s Artistic World


The interview delves into Banksy’s “Turf War” exhibition, a hallmark of his anti-establishment themes. This 2003 London show was a spectacle of defiance, showcasing graffitied police vehicles and live animals adorned with distinctive police patterns, not to mention the famous Winston Churchill portrait with a twist.

Banksy’s artwork Trolley Hunters, a satirical piece depicting three hunters crouching in a savanna-like landscape, aiming their primitive weapons at two shopping carts. The minimalist background of a clear blue sky and sandy terrain emphasizes the absurdity of the scene, critiquing modern consumer culture and its misplaced priorities.

The Name Revelation


In a candid moment, the interviewer, Nigel Wrench, inquires about using Banksy’s real name. The response? “Robbie.” While this opens up possibilities (could he be Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, or perhaps Robin Gunningham?), it’s a rare peek behind the curtain of the elusive artist.

A Banksy mural featuring the phrase "If graffiti changed anything - it would be illegal" painted in bold red letters on a white, cracked wall. Below the text, a black stencil of a rat appears, holding a paintbrush with red paint dripping from it, as though the rat created the graffiti. The image critiques the societal view of graffiti and its perceived impact on change.

Banksy on Graffiti and Art


Banksy’s views on graffiti are clear: it’s vandalism if it’s illegal, but that’s part of its charm. He sees the city as a playground for expression, where painting and repainting are part of an ongoing dialogue. His approach to art? Quick and impactful, much like the fleeting nature of street art itself.

A Banksy artwork titled "Game Changer" showing a young boy kneeling on the floor, wearing overalls and a t-shirt, joyfully holding a toy nurse superhero in the air. The nurse wears a face mask, a cape, and a Red Cross emblem on her uniform, symbolizing healthcare workers as heroes. In a trash bin beside him, traditional superhero toys like Batman and Spider-Man lie discarded, highlighting a shift in societal values. The artwork is rendered in black and white, with the Red Cross emblem standing out in red.

Banksy’s Take on the Art Establishment


Banksy remains detached from the traditional art world, expressing disinterest in the ‘Brit Art’ movement and a pointed avoidance of selling to figures like Charles Saatchi. His focus is on art that resonates with the public, rather than seeking approval from the elite.

Two Sotheby’s staff members, wearing white gloves and blue masks, carefully hold Banksy's partially shredded artwork, formerly known as "Girl with Balloon," now titled "Love is in the Bin." The piece is encased in an ornate golden frame, with the bottom portion of the canvas shredded and hanging beneath. The upper part of the artwork features a red heart-shaped balloon floating against a blank background, emphasizing the contrast between creation and destruction. The scene is set in a gallery, highlighting the surreal and iconic nature of Banksy’s work.

Banksy’s Art in the Market


Despite his disconnection from the art market, Banksy’s canvases are highly sought after, fetching high prices. His reaction? A mix of surprise and indifference, hinting at a disconnection between the artist’s intentions and the commercial value of his work.

Street Artist Isaac Cordal


By Isaac Cordal. From 28 June to 1 September 2013 – Nantes, France.

Issac Cordal: “After three months of work a new version of my installation Follow the leaders has been filed Place du Bouffait in Nantes, produced by Levoayageanantes.

This time the result is a massive installation consists of 2000 pieces and several concrete buildings which represent a kind of city in ruins: a metaphor for the collapse of capitalism and the side effects of progress. The facility occupies 20 m x 18 m. At night it lights up like a sort of ghost town.”

By Isaac in Nantes, France 2
Issac: “Follow the leaders is a critical reflection on our inertia as a social mass. Representing a social stereotype associated with power compound businessmen who run the global social spectrum.”

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.

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.

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 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.

"No Future" by Banksy

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.

“I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” by Banksy


A collage of two images showcasing Banksy's street art in Camden, London, with the text 'I DON’T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING' written in bold red graffiti on a white wall. The first image features a bird perched on a snow-covered embankment, while the second image highlights the graffiti partially submerged in water, symbolizing rising sea levels. Both views emphasize Banksy's environmental commentary.

“I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” first appeared on Regent’s Canal in London in 2009.


This visual metaphor is both striking and powerful, suggesting that denying climate change does nothing to halt its effects, which are visibly rising around us.

The timing of this piece was no coincidence. It emerged shortly after the Copenhagen UN Climate Summit, a meeting that many deemed unsuccessful in producing concrete solutions to global warming. By placing his message in such a context, Banksy underscored the world’s inadequate response to climate change.

Street art by Banksy in Camden, London, showing the text 'I DON’T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING' written in red graffiti on a white building wall. The text is partially submerged in water, symbolizing rising sea levels. The reflection of the graffiti and the building is visible in the water, creating a striking visual commentary on climate change.

Fast forward to 2024, and Banksy’s message is as relevant as ever.


The artwork has become a symbol frequently referenced during climate action events and discussions. During London Climate Action Week 2023, the piece was prominently highlighted to emphasize the ongoing struggle against climate change denial and the urgent need for collective action.

In 2024, the impacts of climate change are more visible and frequent. From severe weather events to rising sea levels, the urgency to act against global warming has never been more pronounced.

Banksy’s artwork embodies the sentiment of disbelief and denial that unfortunately still circulates in some parts of society. Yet, it also inspires hope, pushing the narrative that awareness and action can and must rise above the tide of denial.

Reflections – Mural by Martín Ron in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Argentina (6 photos)


Muralist Martín Ron


By Martín Ron in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Argentina for San Nicolás de los Arroyos.

Martín Ron (direct translation): When I arrived in this beautiful city, I was concerned about the dramatic change that the landscape suffered due to the historical downspout of the RÍO PARANA River that gives life to a large part of this region. The causes? Many: Extreme climate change, drought, deforestation, reduction of wetlands and a lot of disinterest in asking ourselves questions. The consequences? Too many. This mural is part of a new series of murals in which I am working where the protagonist is the reflection. And how opportune to get involved to invite you to reflect on what happens when a river runs out of water.

Nice 3D effect and interesting motifs on the cups if you look closer.

  • Green – oil rigs and a polluted beach.
  • Pink – a stranded broken abandoned boat.
  • Brown – a dead moose.
  • Blue – a far from equal meeting between settlers and Indians.

Leon Keer: The mural depicts the story of climate change. As fragile as the cups are is also our earth. The cups are recognizable as tea cups from Rörstrand, the famous ceramics from Sweden. Size is 15 x 7,5 meter. Every street art piece is unique and belongs to the street and its residents, the temporary fact about this artform strengthens its existence.

Climate Change Addressed Through Street Art (16 Powerful Images)


Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet, and artists are using graffiti and street art as a powerful means to address this global crisis.


In today’s blog post, we’ll explore 16 awe-inspiring images that not only capture the urgency of climate change but also inspire us to take action in our daily lives.

1. Melting Ice: A Visual Reminder of Our Fragile Ecosystem


One powerful image that often appears in climate change-themed street art is the depiction of melting ice caps and glaciers. These striking visuals serve as a stark reminder of the rapid and devastating impact of global warming on our planet’s delicate ecosystems.

The ice sculptures, handcrafted by Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo, were set up in a public area by WWF Germany to show the direct effect of climate change in the Arctic on the whole planet and the future of humanity and nature:

2. Endangered Species: The Fight to Preserve Biodiversity


Many artists use their talent to draw attention to the plight of endangered species, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts to protect Earth’s biodiversity. These emotive images remind us of the consequences of inaction and encourage us to support wildlife preservation.
By Louis Masai at Shoreditch Station in London, UK“The Wrong Amazon Is Burning” on the Amazon Tower in Berlin

3. Deforestation: The Disappearing Lungs of Our Planet


Street art that tackles deforestation brings attention to the alarming rate at which we are losing Earth’s precious forests – our planet’s lungs. These powerful images drive home the importance of preserving our natural resources and the urgent need for reforestation efforts.
By Dr Love at Upfest – In Bristol, EnglandMartín Ron: The causes? Many: Extreme climate change, drought, deforestation, reduction of wetlands and a lot of disinterest in asking ourselves questions. The consequences? Too many. This mural is part of a new series of murals in which I am working where the protagonist is the reflection. And how opportune to get involved to invite you to reflect on what happens when a river runs out of water.

4. Extreme Weather: The New Normal


As climate change worsens, extreme weather events have become increasingly common. Artists often depict these events in their work to illustrate the direct consequences of our changing climate and the urgency to act now.
Support – By Italian sculptor Lorenzo Quinn in Venice, Italy.

5. Rising Sea Levels: The Threat of Disappearing Coastlines


Rising sea levels pose a significant threat to coastal communities worldwide. Street art depicting submerged cities and landscapes can evoke a strong emotional response, emphasizing the need for immediate climate action to protect our planet’s future.
By Banksy: I don’t believe in global warming

6. Pollution: The Toxic Reality of Our Modern World


Graffiti and street art can serve as a powerful reminder of the consequences of unchecked pollution, from smog-filled skies to plastic-choked oceans. These images can inspire us to make sustainable choices and reduce our individual carbon footprints.

7. Renewable Energy: The Path to a Cleaner Future


Many artists choose to showcase renewable energy solutions in their work, promoting a cleaner, greener future. By depicting solar panels and wind turbines, these images encourage us to support and invest in alternative energy sources.

8. Sustainability: A Lifestyle Shift


Street art can inspire us to adopt more sustainable lifestyles by highlighting the benefits of eco-friendly practices, such as recycling, composting, and reducing waste. These images can motivate us to make simple, everyday changes to lessen our impact on the environment.
By Leon Keer: Nice 3D effect and interesting motifs on the cups if you look closer. Green – oil rigs and a polluted beach. Pink – a stranded broken abandoned boat. Brown – a dead moose. Blue – a far from equal meeting between settlers and Indians.

9. Climate Activism: The Power of Collective Action


Many artists use their work to celebrate and support climate activism, featuring images of protesters and powerful messages calling for change. These visuals remind us that our collective voices can make a difference in the fight against climate change.

10. Hope: A Brighter Future Awaits


Lastly, climate change-themed street art often conveys a message of hope, depicting a brighter, greener future if we take action now. These uplifting images serve as a reminder that it’s not too late to make a positive impact on our planet’s health.
Interview with Swedish street artist Herr Nilsson (+18 artworks)

These 16 powerful images of graffiti and street art addressing climate change remind us of the urgency to act and inspire us to make a difference in our daily lives.

A stone and pebble portrait of George Washington titled "George Washingstone," created by Justin Bateman in Bangkok, Thailand. The artwork uses carefully arranged stones of various sizes and colors to form the recognizable face of Washington, blending earthy tones to capture intricate details. The piece sits outdoors, surrounded by loose gravel, reflecting the ephemeral nature of Bateman's creations.

One of his coolest pieces is “George Washingstone.”


He made it in Bangkok, Thailand, with stones he found by a railway. Bateman joked, “I did have to wash the stones,” showing how much care he puts into his art. This portrait of George Washington mixes history and nature in a really creative way.

A detailed stone and pebble portrait of George Washington, titled "George Washingstone," created by Justin Bateman in Bangkok, Thailand. The arrangement uses varying shades of gray, white, and brown stones to bring out the contours and expressions of Washington’s face. The portrait sits in a defined area of gravel, showcasing Bateman's ability to use natural materials to recreate iconic imagery with precision.An elderly man crouches beside Justin Bateman's ephemeral pebble portrait of George Washington, titled "George Washingstone," created in Bangkok, Thailand. The man points towards the artwork on the ground, situated near a railway track surrounded by greenery and urban elements. The portrait blends seamlessly into the gravelly surface, highlighting its temporary and naturalistic essence.

‘Paper money has had the effect that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice.’ – George Washington

‘Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.’ –Henry David Thoreau

A stunning stone and pebble portrait titled "Grace" by Justin Bateman, depicting an elderly woman from Myanmar with a warm smile. The intricate arrangement of stones captures the depth of her facial features, using earthy tones and highlights to convey both strength and serenity. The portrait is framed within a border of darker stones, adding contrast and enhancing the subject’s prominence. Created in Thailand, this artwork reflects Bateman's skill in combining natural materials with emotional storytelling.

‘Grace’


‘Peace isn’t an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth, it’s an experience that’s expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened.’ – Pema Chödrö

Justin Bateman: My work is not political, but the context is inherent in every portraits physiognomy. ‘Grace’ is based on a photograph by Oleg Doroshenko, ‘Myanmar old lady’.

A pebble portrait titled "Fisherman" by Justin Bateman, featuring the face of an older man with a detailed beard and a rugged hat. Created using carefully selected stones in shades of black, gray, and white, the portrait showcases Bateman's talent for capturing intricate facial expressions and textures. The piece is set on a gravel background, blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings in Chiang Mai, Thailand.Justin Bateman crouches next to his pebble portrait titled "Fisherman" in a natural outdoor setting in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The artwork features a bearded man’s face, intricately crafted from stones of varying colors and textures. Surrounded by large boulders and lush greenery, the setting contrasts with an urban building in the background, emphasizing the temporary and harmonious nature of Bateman’s art.

‘Fisherman’


‘The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope’. – John Buchan

‘Refugee 1’


‘The aim is not to make a portrait, it is to express the soul of a subject, however briefly’. – Justin Bateman

Justin Bateman: Where do we belong? It can be hard to know, but most of us have a place we call home. Others lack both material and spiritual homes, taking temporary refuge where they can… Those who were simply born in the wrong place at the wrong time. The forgotten faces series of ‘Refugees’ explores the brevity of belonging for those people who’s name and fate is unknown. Inspired by a photograph of Burmese Refugees in Thailand, with the kind permission of Christian Bobst.

A pebble portrait titled "Refugee 2" by Justin Bateman, showcasing the face of a young individual with an upward, hopeful gaze. Crafted using various shades of stones and pebbles, the artwork blends seamlessly into its gravel background, emphasizing its ephemeral nature. The portrait captures a sense of longing and perseverance, reflecting the resilience of refugees. Created in Chiang Mai, Thailand, this piece highlights Bateman's ability to convey emotion through natural materials.

‘Refugee 2’


Justin Bateman: Help Myanmar end the violence and restore democracy by donating to the interim government CRPH.

A stone and pebble portrait titled "Mandela Mandala" by Justin Bateman, featuring a warm depiction of Nelson Mandela. The artwork is crafted using earthy brown and tan stones, arranged to highlight the contours of Mandela’s face and his gentle expression. The pebbles’ natural tones enhance the portrait's depth, symbolizing Mandela’s enduring legacy and connection to the earth. Created in Chiang Mai, Thailand, this piece reflects Bateman's skill in combining simplicity and profound storytelling.

‘Mandela Mandala’


‘During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.’ – Nelson Mandela

Justin Bateman: In collaboration with the earth, these momentary reflections sometimes represent our human ideals. But they are only ever allegories for something far greater…. To witness a love that will outlive any object.

A striking stone and pebble portrait titled "Masonry Messiah" by Justin Bateman, depicting a figure reminiscent of Jesus Christ with an upward, soulful gaze. The intricate arrangement of pebbles in shades of brown, beige, and black creates depth and emotion, capturing the subject’s expressive eyes and flowing hair. Set against a textured pebble background, this artwork symbolizes spirituality and humanity, created in Chiang Mai, Thailand, as part of Bateman’s ephemeral masterpieces.

‘Masonry Messiah’


“Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty” – Brené Brown

Justin Bateman: Stones have illustrated core concepts in spiritual teachings for centuries. Whilst creating the mosaics it is possible to achieve a contemplative state of heightened awareness and meditation. In this discipline there is freedom. The stones are integral to my practice whereby the medium is very much the message.

A delicate stone and pebble portrait titled "La Scapigliata" by Justin Bateman, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s unfinished masterpiece. The artwork uses a blend of tan, beige, and dark pebbles to recreate the serene expression and flowing features of the subject. The intricate design captures both the softness and depth of the original artwork, blending seamlessly into the natural gravel setting. Created in Chiang Mai, Thailand, this piece highlights Bateman’s ability to reinterpret classical art using ephemeral materials.

‘La Scapigliata’


‘I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than closed by belief’. – Gerry Spence

18 Stunning Land Art Creations by Jon Foreman: Nature’s Beauty in Stone Patterns


Discover the amazing world of Jon Foreman, where nature and art come together in incredible land sculptures.


Using stones, driftwood, and other natural materials, Foreman turns everyday landscapes into stunning works of art. He lives in Wales and creates art that shows how people and nature can work together. Each sculpture is carefully arranged with beautiful patterns and shapes that highlight the wonders of the natural world.

These artworks don’t last forever—the tides or weather often take them away soon after they’re made. Want to see more of Jon Foreman’s work? Check out his Instagram and visit his website to explore his stunning creations and learn more about his process!

Lux Tenebris


Jon Foreman: Created at Pensarn, Abergele. This was the last piece I made in 2021! I was glad to have gotten the chance to work on a large scale again, it had been a while! As ever I had an idea that changed as I progressed but I love that this one has curves going horizontally and vertically with a kind of half pipe effect (a curved ramp of stones either side). Also very lucky to have had the chance to capture the sea engulfing it. Although it was coming in very fast it was coming very calmly which allowed me to get plenty of photos, got my feet wet for this shot!

Crescent


Jon Foreman: Created at Lindsway Bay, Pembrokeshire. I’m so used to following the circle round further that its hard to break the habit. Glad to have managed it with this one though! It really feels like it merges into the sand, which is something that I’m not sure I’ve succeeded in doing in the past. At least not as well as this one.

Dissicio Quadratum


Created at Freshwater West.

Circumflexus


Jon Foreman: Created for Llano Earth Art Fest Texas. This is the most intensive work I’ve created and took four days to complete! I initially started with the largest stones making the back of the circle, as the stones got smaller I began to realise the time that would be involved. I’d love to know how many there actually are! Photo by Laurence Winram Photography.

A land art creation by Jon Foreman on a sandy beach. The artwork features a mesmerizing pattern of smooth, colorful stones arranged in swirling waves that taper off into delicate lines of smaller stones. Foreman is kneeling nearby, wearing a hoodie and beanie, adding a human connection to the ephemeral artwork.

Fluidus


Jon Foreman: Yes it looks like a jellyfish, no its not meant to be one. I’m not trying to suppress any imagination but for me I’m essentially trying to create something that doesn’t yet exist so that attachment to something that does exist gets on my nerves haha also feels like its oversimplifying the work a bit… But call it what you want haha!

This one was actually created before “Peruersum” (The 4 day piece created at LEAF) and is what Peruersum was based on. The difference being that I didn’t have the time fill a full circle for this one so I got the opportunity at LEAF. I love creating the familiarity between pieces of work without directly repeating something. Having said that, i don’t know that I could directly repeat a piece of work without it becoming a tiny bit different!

Also the sand was really annoying that day and every time I put a stone into the sand it created the cracks you can see between the stones, interesting effect i suppose

Acervus Circlus


Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. I love working like this, finding colours that contrast well and placing on top of one another. Very satisfying work to do, showing freshwater Wests colours in a different way, although I usually add white too I thought amongst these white may stand out too much.

Expletio Duo


Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. This piece is 1 in a 3 part set that I’m trying to get made. Many of you will have seen “Expletio” which is a single spiral using these same colours and this fractal style of working. I shall at some stage be creating the third in the set which will be a triple spiral in the same style! Anyway this one proved more fiddly than the previous version, I think I must have downscaled it a bit and that coupled with cold/windy weather made for difficult work. Got there in the end though!

Druid Spiral


Jon Foreman: Created at Druidston I love working with the slate at this beach, definitely has a different vibe and colour, I’ll have to get back there again soon!

Sinking Circle


Jon Foreman: Although I don’t consider myself an especially good photographer I’m very happy with how this one turned out, aside from the work itself looking good (and with this angle showing the incline more clearly) aside from the work I think I caught the atmosphere of the day which isn’t often very obvious in my work! Also love the water making the edge of the stones glow and they disappear into the distance, I’m all about depth within the sculpture why not outside the sculpture too.

Lumen


Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. A couple of years back I created a very similar piece to this, the only difference being that the stones were previously placed flat. I feel the sense of movement is enhanced with them placed this way really radiating outward as they disperse.

Nether Flower


Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. Couldn’t resist sharing this angle with the shadows! This one got a little bit messy in the middle because of the nature of the placement in the space available. I have to start in the middle and slot the next layer behind the previous so the more I add the less space there is in the small “hole” I made for this. So yeah they got a little bit squashed but I can live with that!

Above Below


Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. Another mushroom creation, couldn’t resist making use of the massive branch of driftwood. Again these are just stones balanced on sticks accept where they go over the driftwood. A fun one for sure… More mushrooms to come!

Shroom Sheet


Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West I’ve done quite a lot now with shrooms, yes they’re stones balanced on sticks, no – its not as difficult as it seems! .. until you start putting them very close together… But until creating this piece I’ve yet to work with them while incorporating colour (or more precisely colour change) as with this one! I’ll likely do more at some stage!

Obnatus Luna


Jon Foreman: These stones are often buried under the sand when there’s been particularly high tides so I have to hope they’re not buried every time!

Satr: “Whisper” The transmission of emotions is full of fluidity. Listen gently. You will get the answer. I received an invitation from 2019, but for various reasons I couldn’t come to Mannheim. Although this mural is three years ‘late’, but everything is the best arrangement. Otherwise I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet some of my new best friends. Thank you STADT.WAND.KUNST team and Montana Cans made this happen. ❤️🖤

Ever wondered what age of stupid actually means? Look no further then the so called “logic” of people who throw their toys out of pram when someone damaged property but won’t bat an eyelid when people damage the very thing on which their precious property stands on, our plant. 🤡 People need to wake up and realise there’s no plant B so everyday should be an Earth Day. Stop trashing your home.

Artwork from the 'Little People' series by Slinkachu, featuring two miniature figurines, an elderly man and woman, standing in front of a sign resembling a museum exhibit description. The sign explains a cigarette butt, which looms large in comparison to the tiny figures, turning the discarded object into an oversized, thought-provoking display. The scene is set on a patch of dirt, blending urban commentary with whimsical scale manipulation.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

A whimsical installation from Slinkachu's 'Little People' series, featuring two miniature figurines standing on a tennis ball floating in a puddle, styled as a tropical island. A small plastic palm tree rises from the tennis ball, creating the illusion of a deserted island. The background includes blurred urban structures, contrasting with the playful and imaginative foreground.

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.

A creative piece from Slinkachu's 'Little People' series, showing a miniature figurine rowing a tiny red boat across a puddle of spilled milk. The milk originates from a toppled 500ml carton lying in the background. The scene transforms a simple spill into a playful and imaginative micro-world.

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 piece from Slinkachu's 'Little People' series, featuring a miniature figurine of a priest or pope standing in front of a tipped-over soda can with a small cross planted on its top. The scene humorously resembles a religious moment or ceremony, with the soda can acting as an improvised altar. The background shows a blurred urban alley, contrasting with the playful foreground.

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.

This piece is a piece that means a lot to me as it represents a lot. It symbolizes the simple message of ” keep doing what you love”. No matter how many hardships and obstacles you encounter along the way you need to just push them aside and do what makes you happy.

This is one of the first pieces I ever made and still one of my favorites. This image works as a piece of advice for everyone we all need to work to do what we truly love. Once we have achieved that, we haven’t really worked a day in our lives! – HIJACK


Who knew the unintended consequence of quarantine would be a good thing for nature. Let’s Make Earth Green Again by staying indoors and not f$&*#!% stuff up. – HIJACK


Pardon my appearance but I’m doing it for you❤️😷 – HIJACK


This represents the constant growing conflict and separation of today’s society politically.
It serves as a metaphor that as people we should understand the fact that everyone will have a different opinion than our own and it would be beneficial for us to try to understand the opposing side and use it as a source for growth and knowledge rather than a source for criticism and judgment. – HIJACK


⚠️keep your humans on a leash at all times please⚠️ – HIJACK


Sometimes progress takes us in full circle. Right back to a time when pictures made more sense. Lets not forget who started it all. – HIJACK


The environment kids are raised in matters. Unfortunately, even before one can grow up to think for themselves, they are taught to believe war is the only answer. – HIJACK


“You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes” – Greta Thunberg – HIJACK


We live in such a toxic environment that there may come a day when natural beauty becomes a rarity. – HIJACK


Don’t expect a better day, imagine and then create one. – HIJACK


Nothing is forbidden until you ask for permission. – HIJACK


Street workers: rarely appreciated yet always there to help. – HIJACK


Don’t throttle my internet. #netneutrality – HIJACK


Creativity is cooking. – HIJACK


Keep your “change”, I need money. – HIJACK


Ice doesn’t have an agenda, it just melts. Let’s raise our climate change awareness and not the sea level. – HIJACK


Resistance is futile. – HIJACK


You never know what’s behind the mask. – HIJACK


True love lies… In our differences… – HIJACK


HIJACK: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed into law a controversial abortion bill that could punish doctors who perform abortions with life in prison. Alabama will become the state with the country’s most restrictive abortion law and the law will immediately become fodder for the swirling debate over if (and when) the Supreme Court might consider overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. “When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy,” .”It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the 1 essential thing a person should command: their own body.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes


“Some people are so poor all they have is money” – HIJACK

They are not less than you, they only have less than you. Turning a blind eye to 58k homeless people in our city isn’t a real solution yet we pretend it is. – HIJACK


Two momentous events in the history of humanity. First, man invents the wheel. Then, he improves upon the wheel by adding a sugary glaze… – HIJACK


There are approximately 18.6 million vacant homes in America and 3.1 million homeless people. – HIJACK


The carrot-and-stick approach seems to be an effective approach to keeping our workhorse running. The problem? It’s a carrot on a stick!!! – HIJACK


”Canary In A Coal mine” Giving the coal industry the bird. – HIJACK


In a time when the public discourse is tainted with an anti-immigrant sentiment. We need to remind ourselves of what we are composed of as a city and more broadly as a nation. – HIJACK


“Urine trouble” – HIJACK


The human impact on our oceans have caused ecosystems to change drastically and rapidly leading to the extinction of many species. Let’s give nature a chance to recover by reducing our carbon footprint and pollution. #worldoceansday – HIJACK


“It’s always shady under the corporate umbrella”
As the anti-trust groundwork is laid down and investigations loom in the near future against many big businesses. It feels as if the only responsibility big companies have is to maximize profits at no matter what societal cost. – HIJACK


“The Transhumanist” – People have taken it upon themselves to hack their bodies as a way to harness the power of technology. The current body modifications may still be at there infancy and appear a little clunky but I look forward to the day of being able to put someone on vibrate. – HIJACK


It’s lonely at the top, but man the view is nice and the milk is great. – HIJACK


The mice better pray to cheesus because this is gonna be a cat-astrophe. – HIJACK

When they shoot, we shoot. – HIJACK


“Déjà flu”

Here we go again 😷 🦠 – HIJACK

Climate Change Addressed Through Street Art (16 Powerful Images)


Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet, and artists are using graffiti and street art as a powerful means to address this global crisis.


In today’s blog post, we’ll explore 16 awe-inspiring images that not only capture the urgency of climate change but also inspire us to take action in our daily lives.

1. Melting Ice: A Visual Reminder of Our Fragile Ecosystem


One powerful image that often appears in climate change-themed street art is the depiction of melting ice caps and glaciers. These striking visuals serve as a stark reminder of the rapid and devastating impact of global warming on our planet’s delicate ecosystems.

The ice sculptures, handcrafted by Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo, were set up in a public area by WWF Germany to show the direct effect of climate change in the Arctic on the whole planet and the future of humanity and nature:
By OakoakClimate Change: Tiny ice figurines draw attention to big problem

2. Endangered Species: The Fight to Preserve Biodiversity


Many artists use their talent to draw attention to the plight of endangered species, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts to protect Earth’s biodiversity. These emotive images remind us of the consequences of inaction and encourage us to support wildlife preservation.
By Louis Masai at Shoreditch Station in London, UK“The Wrong Amazon Is Burning” on the Amazon Tower in Berlin

3. Deforestation: The Disappearing Lungs of Our Planet


Street art that tackles deforestation brings attention to the alarming rate at which we are losing Earth’s precious forests – our planet’s lungs. These powerful images drive home the importance of preserving our natural resources and the urgent need for reforestation efforts.
By Dr Love at Upfest – In Bristol, EnglandMartín Ron: The causes? Many: Extreme climate change, drought, deforestation, reduction of wetlands and a lot of disinterest in asking ourselves questions. The consequences? Too many. This mural is part of a new series of murals in which I am working where the protagonist is the reflection. And how opportune to get involved to invite you to reflect on what happens when a river runs out of water.

4. Extreme Weather: The New Normal


As climate change worsens, extreme weather events have become increasingly common. Artists often depict these events in their work to illustrate the direct consequences of our changing climate and the urgency to act now.
Support – By Italian sculptor Lorenzo Quinn in Venice, Italy.

5. Rising Sea Levels: The Threat of Disappearing Coastlines


Rising sea levels pose a significant threat to coastal communities worldwide. Street art depicting submerged cities and landscapes can evoke a strong emotional response, emphasizing the need for immediate climate action to protect our planet’s future.
By Banksy: I don’t believe in global warming

6. Pollution: The Toxic Reality of Our Modern World


Graffiti and street art can serve as a powerful reminder of the consequences of unchecked pollution, from smog-filled skies to plastic-choked oceans. These images can inspire us to make sustainable choices and reduce our individual carbon footprints.
Street Art by HIJACK – A Collection (42 photos)CONDITIONAL LOVE – By SaRX 404 on Climate Change

7. Renewable Energy: The Path to a Cleaner Future


Many artists choose to showcase renewable energy solutions in their work, promoting a cleaner, greener future. By depicting solar panels and wind turbines, these images encourage us to support and invest in alternative energy sources.
Clean Energy – By TABBY

8. Sustainability: A Lifestyle Shift


Street art can inspire us to adopt more sustainable lifestyles by highlighting the benefits of eco-friendly practices, such as recycling, composting, and reducing waste. These images can motivate us to make simple, everyday changes to lessen our impact on the environment.
By Leon Keer: Nice 3D effect and interesting motifs on the cups if you look closer. Green – oil rigs and a polluted beach. Pink – a stranded broken abandoned boat. Brown – a dead moose. Blue – a far from equal meeting between settlers and Indians.

9. Climate Activism: The Power of Collective Action


Many artists use their work to celebrate and support climate activism, featuring images of protesters and powerful messages calling for change. These visuals remind us that our collective voices can make a difference in the fight against climate change.
Politicians Discussing Climate Change by Isaac Cordal

10. Hope: A Brighter Future Awaits


Lastly, climate change-themed street art often conveys a message of hope, depicting a brighter, greener future if we take action now. These uplifting images serve as a reminder that it’s not too late to make a positive impact on our planet’s health.
Interview with Swedish street artist Herr Nilsson (+18 artworks)

These 16 powerful images of graffiti and street art addressing climate change remind us of the urgency to act and inspire us to make a difference in our daily lives.


Whether it’s supporting renewable energy, reducing waste, or advocating for policy changes, each one of us has the power to contribute to the fight against climate change. Let these compelling visuals serve as a call to action, motivating us to protect our planet for generations to come.

Artwork from the 'Little People' series by Slinkachu, featuring two miniature figurines, an elderly man and woman, standing in front of a sign resembling a museum exhibit description. The sign explains a cigarette butt, which looms large in comparison to the tiny figures, turning the discarded object into an oversized, thought-provoking display. The scene is set on a patch of dirt, blending urban commentary with whimsical scale manipulation.
