Chalk art by David Zinn on a cracked sidewalk depicts two small burrowing animals peeking out from a hole in the pavement. One holds a tiny shovel and the other raises a miniature pickaxe, as if they’re excavating beneath the concrete. The surrounding grass and worn sidewalk frame the illusion, blending street and imagination in Zinn’s signature playful style.

New!: "The Most Sacred Connection of All" by AFZAN PIRZADE and Besik M at 2 Ketevan Tsamebuli Ave. in Tbilisi, Georgia for Tbilisi Mural Fest 2025.

A monumental mural titled “The Most Sacred Connection of All” by AFZAN PIRZADE and Besik M adorns a building at 2 Ketevan Tsamebuli Avenue in Tbilisi, Georgia. Painted for Tbilisi Mural Fest 2025, it depicts a tender Renaissance-style portrait of a mother gently holding her baby in her arms. The woman’s braided hair, soft gaze, and draped garments in earthy tones evoke classical artistry, while the child’s relaxed posture enhances the intimate, timeless feeling of maternal love. The artwork blends fine art realism with the urban fabric of Tbilisi’s skyline.

Normally there is a particular point where an artwork like this looks most effective. That's the ideal point to take a photo from... change the angle an the illusion of depth will vanish.

The Largest Roman Mosaic Found in London in 50 Years
In the heart of London, archaeologists working on Southwark Street uncovered the largest Roman mosaic found in the city in half a century. Discovered in 2022 by the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA), this mosaic dates back to the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD and was likely part of a grand Roman dining room known as a triclinium.

👉 Stunning Ancient Mosaics Discovered Beneath Modern Cities (7 Photos): streetartutopia.com/2025/09/07…

Archaeologists carefully uncover an ancient Roman mosaic beneath a modern construction site in London, with The Shard skyscraper towering in the background. The detailed geometric and floral patterns of the mosaic—crafted in red, white, black, and ochre tiles—contrast strikingly with the surrounding soil and machinery, symbolizing the city’s deep historical layers where ancient Londinium meets contemporary London.

Mud Maid — Sculpture by Sue Hill in Cornwall, UK: This moss-covered figure of a woman rests on the forest floor at The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Her face is sculpted from clay and softened by time, while her hair and body are formed from earth and living plants, changing with the seasons—from green to snow-covered. ❤ Art That Grows From the Earth (8 Photos) 👉 streetartutopia.com/2025/06/02…

The Mud Maid sculpture by Sue Hill at The Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall, UK, shown in two seasons. In the first image, the moss-covered figure of a reclining woman lies peacefully on the forest floor, her clay face serene and her hair made of living plants. In the second, winter transforms her — snow blankets her form, turning the vibrant greens into soft white, creating a tranquil contrast that highlights how the living sculpture changes with the seasons.

Art That Grows From the Earth (9 Photos)

There is a unique kind of magic that happens when an artist stops trying to compete with nature and starts collaborating with it. From quiet forest goddesses to surreal illusions that appear to “pinch” the very skin of the world, these sculptures don’t just sit on the landscape—they emerge from it.

In this collection, we explore works across the globe, from the lush gardens of England to the parks of Illinois and the mountains of Switzerland. Some hold living trees gently in their palms, while others transform with the seasons, disappearing under snow only to bloom again in the spring. All of them invite us to see the earth not just as a setting, but as a living, breathing canvas.
More: 8 Inspiring Sculptures Seamlessly Integrated with Nature
1. Hallow — Daniel Popper (Lisle, Illinois, USA)

Daniel Popper is known for his monumental figures, but “Hallow” feels particularly intimate despite its scale. This wooden figure stands with her chest pulled open, creating a literal doorway for visitors to step through. Surrounded by blooming pink trees, the sculpture suggests that the path to nature begins by opening our own hearts to it.
More: 5 Photos of Sculpture “Hallow” By Daniel Popper
2. Mud Maid — Sue Hill (Cornwall, UK)

Resting in The Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Mud Maid is a “living” sculpture in the truest sense. Her “hair” and “skin” are made of seasonal plants and moss, meaning she changes her appearance throughout the year. She is a reminder that art in nature is never static; it grows, withers, and waits for the thaw just like the rest of the forest.
More: Mud Maid – Living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill (5 photos and video)
3. Give — Lorenzo Quinn

Lorenzo Quinn’s work often focuses on the human hand as a tool of both creation and destruction. In “Give,” two massive, pristine white hands emerge from the earth to cradle a single living tree. It’s a powerful visual metaphor for our responsibility as stewards of the environment—holding life with care rather than a clenched fist.
4. Clothespin — Mehmet Ali Uysal (Chaudfontaine, Belgium)

Art doesn’t always have to be solemn; sometimes it’s a giant joke played on the landscape. Mehmet Ali Uysal’s “Clothespin” makes the heavy, solid earth look as light as a piece of laundry. By “pinching” a mound of grass, the sculpture transforms a public park into a surreal, tactile playground.
🔗 Follow Mehmet Ali Uysal on Instagram
5. Caring Hand — Eva Oertli & Beat Huber (Glarus, Switzerland)

Located in the heart of Glarus, this sculpture turns a tree into a protected treasure. The “Caring Hand” rises from the soil to wrap its fingers around the trunk, blending the industrial feel of the sculpture with the organic growth of the park. It’s a silent, permanent gesture of protection.
More: The Caring Hand – Sculpture by Eva Oertli and Beat Huber
6. I’m Home!

Sometimes the most striking art is the kind you almost miss. By painting a face directly onto the split heart of a tree, the artist reveals a “soul” within the wood. The natural texture of the trunk becomes part of the portrait, making it look as though the figure has been hiding there all along, waiting for the bark to part.
7. UMI — Daniel Popper (Chicago, Illinois, USA)

“UMI” translates to “Mother” in Arabic, and this sculpture perfectly captures the concept of Mother Nature. Built with a skeleton of intertwined roots and branches, the figure appears to be in the middle of a slow, graceful ascent from the soil. It reminds us that we are not separate from the earth—we are made of the same stuff.
More: “UMI” Sculpture by Daniel Popper in Lisle, Illinois
8. Flower Tube

What if the vibrant colors of a garden weren’t just grown, but “painted” onto the grass? This whimsical installation treats nature like a medium, with a giant paint tube squeezing out a river of orange marigolds. It’s a literal interpretation of the idea that nature is the ultimate artist.
9. Musco — Jon Foreman (Minwear Woods, Wales)

Jon Foreman’s land art is famously ephemeral. Using only what he finds on the forest floor—leaves, moss, stones, and soil—he creates intricate patterns that the wind or rain will eventually reclaim. “Musco” is a tribute to the geometry found in the wild, proving that even the most fleeting art can leave a lasting impression.

A mural of a blue Chinese dragon wraps around a spiral staircase on the side of a tall building at Kuantan Art Street in Pahang, Malaysia.

A satirical poster at a London bus stop on Nutfield Close features a bold message reading, “IMAGINE HAVING A TRILLION DOLLARS AND STILL BEING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST LOSER,” above an image of a man making a sarcastic expression. A red double-decker bus with the destination “Waltham Cross 279” passes by on the street, and autumn trees line the background. Created by the anonymous artist collective everyonehateselon_, this piece humorously critiques billionaire culture and public perception of extreme wealth.

Reminds me of this brief but profound scene from Dickens "A Christmas Carol"...

"[Scrooge] had been quite familiar with one old ghost, in a white waistcoat, with a monstrous iron safe attached to its ankle, who cried piteously at being unable to assist a wretched woman with an infant, whom it saw below, upon a door-step."

👉 The misery with them all was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good, in human matters, and had lost the power for ever.👈

Educated minds for all Halloweeners 👻
-
Trick or teach? 🎃 One copy of 1984 per child.

A Halloween candy bowl placed on a doorstep, but instead of sweets, it’s filled with paperback copies of 1984 by George Orwell. A white sign above the books reads “ONE COPY OF 1984 PER CHILD” in bold black letters. The red covers feature an illustration of an eye, symbolizing surveillance. The humorous setup replaces typical Halloween treats with classic dystopian literature, suggesting an ironic “trick-or-treat for the mind.”

🚨AT MAR-A-LAGO (by @everyonehateselon_)

@everyonehateselon_: We launched this plane because we’re sick of men using their wealth and power to abuse women and then cover it up. If you want to stand with survivors, we’ve put a link in our bio to donate to the centre for women’s justice ❤️

A plane tows a protest banner reading “TRUMP IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES” across a clear blue sky above Mar-a-Lago. The airborne message was organized by activist group @everyonehateselon_ to highlight alleged ties between powerful men and Jeffrey Epstein. The stunt followed renewed attention on accountability after Prince Andrew lost his royal titles amid criminal investigations.

Two images taken from the same viewpoint of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., showing an ice sculpture that originally spells “DEMOCRACY.” In the second image, the sculpture has partially melted, leaving only the letters “D _CAY,” visually transforming the word into “DECAY.” The artwork powerfully symbolizes the fragility of democratic systems and their potential erosion over time.

New!: "The Flame Keepers" by Mandi Caskey at 37 Fall St. in Seneca Falls, New York.

Mandi Caskey: Tribute to the enduring fight for women’s rights across generations. This mural captures an intimate moment of exchange. A suffragette passing a living flame into the hands of a modern woman. The fire represents knowledge, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for justice and equity. The suffragette’s steady presence honors the women of Seneca Falls who fought to secure the right to vote...

Mural titled “The Flame Keepers” by Mandi Caskey at 37 Fall St. in Seneca Falls, New York — birthplace of the women’s rights movement in the United States. The artwork portrays a suffragette passing a glowing flame into the hands of a modern woman, symbolizing the transfer of courage, knowledge, and resilience across generations. The older woman wears a sash inscribed “1848 Vote for Women,” while the younger woman, adorned with buttons, receives the light beneath a crescent moon and soft clouds. Moths flutter in the background, representing remembrance and transformation.

...while the younger woman receives the flame with reverence and determination, carrying that light forward into a more inclusive future. Both figures rise from the water, a symbol of rebirth and the roots of Seneca Falls, where the first Women’s Rights Convention reshaped history. Her sash belongs to the past. Her buttons belong to the present. And the moths gather in remembrance, for everyone, who gave their life to the cause. Let’s keep the light burning for all.

Aerial view of downtown Seneca Falls, New York — birthplace of the women’s rights movement in the United States — featuring Mandi Caskey’s mural “The Flame Keepers” on the side of a historic brick building at 37 Fall St. The mural shows a suffragette passing a glowing flame to a modern woman, symbolizing the enduring legacy of women’s rights. The scene overlooks the calm Cayuga–Seneca Canal, surrounded by trees and 19th-century architecture.

Skeleton Art (12 Photos)

Skeletons have long captured the imagination of street artists, symbolizing what lies beneath the surface—literally and metaphorically. From vibrant Día de los Muertos tributes to x-ray illusions, these 12 artworks explore identity, mortality, and transparency in public space. This collection spans cities like Crotone, Guadalajara, London, Melbourne, and New York—each mural or installation offering a different layer of urban anatomy.
More!: Skeleton Art (23 Photos)
1. The Architect — INSANE 51 in Crotone, Italy

This stunning double-exposure mural shows a woman’s portrait seamlessly shifting into a skeletal x-ray when viewed through red and cyan filters. The final full-color version merges the two, with precise anatomical detail in the skull and ribcage rendered in cool blue and overlaid by a serene red-tinted face.

2. La Lupita — Emmanuel Cuevas Visual in Guadalajara, Mexico

A rich, colorful tribute blending Frida Kahlo’s likeness with a central sugar skull. The mural wraps around architectural features like a window and flower-shaped grille. Vivid floral and traditional motifs surround the skeletal core.

4. Basquiat Tribute — By Banksy

This piece echoes the chaotic brilliance of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s signature figure, shown being frisked by two police officers. The skeleton-like character stands out in vibrant reds, yellows, and blacks, clashing with the grayscale officers.

6. Radium — SHOK-1 in Le Locle, Switzerland

Painted on the side of a building in the birthplace of Swiss watchmaking, this mural by SHOK-1 features a luminous green x-ray of a hand delicately holding a pencil. Titled Radium, the artwork references both radioactive glow and the history of radium watch dial painters—many of whom suffered health effects from exposure. SHOK-1’s translucent technique draws attention to hidden systems, precision, and time, all central to the city’s identity.

Be The Change (17 Photos)

In the world of street art, where walls, buildings, and other vertical surfaces often steal the show, Ememem brings something refreshingly different to the table — or rather, to the pavement.

Known as the “pavement surgeon,” this French street artist transforms cracks, potholes, and other urban blemishes into stunning mosaic artworks. With a trowel in hand and tiles at the ready, Ememem has made a name by bringing beauty to what most people overlook.
More like this: Repairing the World with LEGO: Jan Vormann’s Dispatchwork Project
1.
The Art of Flacking

Ememem’s unique practice is known as “flacking,” a term the artist coined to describe the act of filling urban cracks with intricate designs. The colorful patterns often stand out against the dull grays of asphalt and concrete. Each piece transforming damage into art.
2.
The first flacking by Ememem
From Lyon to the World

Based in Lyon, France, Ememem started flacking in 2016. The artist’s works have since spread to streets across Europe, making appearances in cities like Paris, Madrid, and Milan. Every piece is site-specific, tailored to the unique shape and character of each crack or hole. Whether it’s a geometric explosion of color or a more subdued design that blends with the environment, Ememem’s mosaics are unmistakable.
3.
Democratizing Public Space

Ememem’s art does more than beautify streets; it also reclaims public spaces for everyone. By addressing overlooked areas and elevating them through art, the artist highlights the power of creativity in transforming everyday environments. The work is accessible to all, reinforcing the idea that art doesn’t need to be confined to galleries or museums.
4.
Themes and Inspiration

The mosaics often reflect themes of repair, resilience, and humor. Some designs include playful patterns that mimic flowers, mandalas, or traditional tilework, while others incorporate messages or hidden symbols. This blend of craft and commentary invites viewers to look closer and engage with the art on a personal level. Each piece tells a story of renewal, where broken streets are given new life.
5.
Viral Appeal

With the rise of social media, Ememem’s works have gained global recognition. The striking visuals are a favorite for Instagram, where hashtags like #flacking and #urbanart help spread the artist’s creations to audiences far beyond the streets where they’re found. The visually compelling mosaics often go viral. Follow Ememem Instagram here.
6.
Whether you stumble upon one of Ememem’s pieces while walking to work or see them shared online, their impact is undeniable.

They challenge us to see the cracks in our world not as flaws but as opportunities for creativity and connection.
No future for the potholes!
