Warde, 2014. Installed by HQ Architects, these nine by nine meter flowers "bloom" when someone approaches, or when a tram is about to arrive, brightening an otherwise depressed part of the city. Per their Designboom submission: Warde's attempt was not to fight the chaos but instead to try and lighten up the urban space, by spreading around these elements that have a hint of fantasy, and with their help, overcome the reality of the square. #flowers #bloom #fantasy #reality #jerusalem #installationart #artinstallation #conceptart #design #interactive #citylife #warde #lamps #nightlight (at Jerusalem, Israel)

"Love Letters Building", 2001 German conceptual artist Ha Schult has often worked in the realm of other people's trash, creating large-scale works that force art into everyday life and call attention to the massive consumption of western society. For this project, he used purposeful documentation instead of unwanted trash to cover the facade of a former Berlin post office. He sent out a call for love letters - a gesture highlighting modern German romanticism, and a not-so-subtle reminder of the age before a quick email exchange. This resulted in 150,000 letters ranging from heartfelt to humorous, subjects ranging between lovers, relatives, and even an owner and a pet. #haschult #berlin #postoffice #conceptualart #loveletters #paperart #notes #lovenotes #europe #conceptart

"Your Move" thangka: a Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton, or silk appliqué, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala. As a child, Nepalese artist Tsherin Sherpa underwent six years of intensive training as a traditional Tibetan thangka painter with his father Master Urgen Dorje. Mixing the techniques and imagery of thangka, Sherpa now give his paintings a contemporary edge. #tsherinsherpa #thangka #thangkaart #thangkapainting #contemporaryart #painting #contemporarypainting

For his series of experimental photography titled Impermanent Sculptures, photographer Vitor Schietti worked with fireworks and long-exposure photography to illuminate the branches and stems of trees in his native Brazil. The photos are a mixture of in-camera light painting, and a bit of post-processing that can combine up to 12 shots into a final image. #vitorschietti #impermanentsculptures #tree #firework #light #brazil #longexposure #photography #longexposurephotography #treelights

Bradley Theodore is a New York City based graffiti artist who uses vibrant colors to mix and match key elements of art and fashion. He renders skeletal doppelgängers of Grace Coddington, Kate Moss, and his most popular of Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld. In this post, he paints an imagined conversation between two powerful women who lived at the same time but never met: Coco Chanel and Frida Kahlo. "Just imagine the conversation that those two would have," he explains. "It's exciting to me, to dream of what would happen." #bradleytheodore #bradleytheodoreart #graffitiart #graffitiartist #fashion #highfashion #vibrantcolors #fridakahlo #cocochanel #diadelosmuertos #skeleton #icons #styleicons

Brazilian tattoo artist Flavia Carvalho helps women survivors of domestic violence by helping cover their physical scars with tattoos, free of charge. In this image, the tattoo covers the scars left on this woman where she was stabbed with broken glass. Flavia explains, "They become excited and optimistic. It's wonderful to see their relationship with their bodies change after they get the tattoos. I follow them on FB, and I see how, after being ashamed by their scarred bodies, they now post pictures in dresses, and they look happy, changed. It's transformative." repost: @culturestrike #flaviacarvalho #art #artivism #activism #artivist #activist #domesticviolence #survivor #tattooart #tattoo #cattattoo #cattoo #meow

'Love' by Alexander Milov. "It demonstrates a conflict between a man and a woman as well as the outer and inner expression of human nature. Their inner selves are executed in the form of transparent children, who are holding out their hands through the grating. As it's getting dark (night falls) the children start to shine. This shining is a symbol of purity and sincerity that brings people together and gives a chance of making up when the dark time arrives." #alexandermilov #sculpture #ukrainianart #burningman #burningman2015 #nevada #desert #festival #festivalart #shine #bright #love (at Burning Man)
