Every artist has their favorite canvas. Some turn to paper, others to canvas made out of cotton or linen, and some prefer wood. But the preferred canvas for Italian artist Alice Pasquini is the walls of the cities she visits.

Famous street artist Banksy has been busy placing animal-themed artworks all over London, UK. But art enthusiasts won’t be able to check out one of them in person as it has been stolen just hours after surfacing.

As part of his recent series, Banksy created a stencil of a howling wolf on a satellite dish in the Rye Lane neighborhood in Peckham, south-east London. The artist confirmed the work belonged to him by sharing it on social media.

However, as soon as it was confirmed that the artwork belonged to Banksy, a group of men wearing hoodies and masks on their faces got to the location and stole it. A video surfaced on social media shows the thieves climbing to a building using a ladder, dismounting the satellite dish, and then running away with it.

This isn’t the first time that Banksy’s artworks have been stolen in broad daylight. Last year, thieves stole a traffic stop containing a piece done by Banksy. The artwork disappeared shortly after it was unveiled in that case as well.

The howling wolf was the fourth entry in the series that has been dubbed “London Zoo”. The artist previously placed stencils of a goat, elephants, and a swinging monkey across London. The howling wolf piece was later followed by an artwork showing two pelicans.

Oakoak is a French street artist who creates pieces that interact with urban landscapes in a really clever way, creating amusing scenes for everyone who manages to spot them.

In most cases, Oakoak’s street art is opportunistic and doesn’t involve much prior planning. Most of the time, the artist will spot something inspiring on the street and act in the moment. A wall full of scratches becomes a perfect place to add a playful black cat while a cracked window is a perfect excuse to paint a snow ball-throwing kid.

Oakoak’s street art has found its home in cities across the world, but his hometown of Saint-Étienne remains his favorite playground. It is actually his desire to make Saint-Étienne livelier and prettier that got him into art.  

“I like this city, her atmosphere, and I wanted it to look nicer, “Oakoak explained in a recent chat with Outsiders. “It was an industrial city with many coal mines; now it’s in regeneration and still quite poor. But it’s easily travelled by foot with awkward aspects ideal for art. I saw shapes everywhere, and wanted to realize them.”

Oakoak’s pieces have become quite popular and have given the artist opportunities to exhibit in reputable art galleries. However, he still continues to share his street art interventions on social media for the whole world to enjoy them.

In most cases, urban landscapes are not particularly pleasing to look at with their gray concrete blocks, battered-up bins, dull manhole covers, and eye-sore-inducing pipes, tubes, and cylinders. However, individuals like Tom Bob show that they can even be turned into something interesting if you are creative enough.

Bob is a New York City street artist who became famous for his whimsical interventions that transform the urban landscapes of his hometown as well as numerous cities in the United States and across the world. He explores the streets of these cities in order to find unique objects that he then turns into quirky creatures, food items, and fashion pieces, among others.

Using spray paint and stencils, Bob transforms a manhole cover into a delicious pizza, the AC condenser unit becomes a robot, while gas installations take the shape of a jolly elephant.

With his interventions, Bob notdoesn’t only wants to instill some life into the city streets but also give locals an opportunity to see the beauty of street art. 

“Street art is the most democratic art form in the world. You don’t need to go into a museum to see it. It’s for everyone,” Bob explained in an interview with ABC.

Until Bob comes to your city, you can check out some of his previous whimsical interventions from other cities below.

Kurt Wenner is an American artist who creates stunning 3D pavement art. Wenner’s works are so realistic that viewers often have a feeling of a real scene happening in front of their eyes.

Wenner spent his early life in pursuit of fine art, which led him to attend California’s Art Center. While there, he was recruited by NASA and accepted a job offer from the space organization to serve as an “advanced space illustrator”.

Wenner left NASA in the early 1980s and moved to Italy, where he wanted to study the art of Italian master paintings. While there, he came across an artist who was drawing paintings on the pavement with chalk. That’s when Wenner got the idea to start doing 3D pavement art.

Since then, Wenner created 3D pavement paintings across the world. His works are influenced by the works of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Caravaggio, but also inspired by all sorts of different themes.

“My artwork almost always tells a story. I enjoy using themes and stories that withstand the test of time as they spark recognition across generations. I often use stories from sacred art, mythology, and music,” Wenner shares on his website.

Continue scrolling to check out some of Wenner’s amazing 3D works below.

Jasmin Siddiqui, aka Hera, is a German-born artist with many talents. She is a poet, illustrator, and graffiti artist, but most people know her for her amazing murals that can be seen on buildings and walls of a number of cities in Europe and other parts of the world.

Hera’s murals are mainly focused on humans, their place in the world, and how they deal with social injustice and political dilemmas.

Being the daughter of a Pakistani immigrant, Hera is also drawn to the subjects of immigration, movement, and search for a better life. Just recently, she created a piece on this subject called “We all are Birds of Migration. Some With Feathers, Some Without,” in Stavanger, Norway, for the Nuart festival.

“We all exist today because our ancestors at some point either freely migrated to greener pastures, more fertile grounds, greater resources, and safer living conditions, or were forcibly moved from one place to another at some point at some point in history,” said Hera about the work. “… My mural is a tribute to those travellers, nomads, explorers, survivors.”

David Zinn is a street artist like no other. Instead of doing murals and covering walls with graffiti art, Zinn opted to decorate the sidewalks of his city—Ann Arbor, Michigan—with intricate small-scale drawings.

Zinn has been creating street art in and around Ann Arbor since 1987, but he still encounters a blank canvas almost every time he goes out on the street. This is because he purposely chooses to draw with chalk and pastel, making his art vulnerable to elements and limited in time.

However, the temporary nature of his works makes them even more unique, especially to those who managed to spot them under their feet. Also, it gives the artist more motivation to use the sunny days to their fullest.

“There’s a moral imperative to get outside because it’s not going to last. And my idea of a nice day has drastically expanded,” Zinn explained in a recent interview.

The fact that his works don’t last long also helps Zinn to avoid run-ins with the law. While his works could be viewed as graffiti, making them illegal in Ann Arbor, he gets by thanks to the fact he isn’t making permanent changes to the city’s property.

Zinn’s small-scale drawings have made him a minor celebrity in his city and brought him recognition worldwide and on social media. He currently has almost 800L followers on Instagram, where he regularly shares his artwork. Check out more of them below.

While he was a kid, Italian artist Leonardo Ugolini enjoyed building sandcastles during his trips to the beach like most children. And he didn’t let growing up stop him from enjoying this fun activity. As a matter of fact, Ugolini managed to turn this childhood passion into a profession.

Ugolini has been building sand sculptures for the past 30 years, recreating famous buildings, architecture from fantasy worlds, mythical creatures, pop culture objects, and much more. Some of his past works include sandcastle inspired by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from Harry Potter, a replica of Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, and sand tower of Mordor from The Lord of the Rings.

Despite working with an unstable material, Ugolini usually opts for grandiose pieces that can take several weeks to complete. He recently even broke the world record for the biggest sandcastle in the world, creating a 69.4 feet (21.16 meters) tall sculpture in Denmark.

Ugolini’s sandcastles have been received a lot of attention on social media, with many of his sculptures becoming viral in a short amount of time. The positive response inspired the artist to start sharing videos on YouTube that show his creative process and contain tips about working with the sand.

His incredibly realistic and detailed works have found a home all around the world and are regularly featured at international events and festivals. Check out more of them below.

Painting murals for Los Angeles-based muralist Sean Yoro isn’t just about creating artwork on a piece of concrete. It’s also about overcoming challenges and growing as an artist with each experience.

Yoro, who also goes by his alter ego Hula, paints his artwork mostly on places that are only accessible by water. He hits the waters on his surfboard and has to paddle out to the designated spot while making sure his supplies don’t end up falling from the board. When he gets there, he battles currents and needs to work quickly before the tides come and interfere with his art.

“I had to learn not only a faster and more efficient way to paint while on a surfboard but also blending layers together needed to be able to adapt to the tides and other variables that might restrict certain areas of the wall,” Yoro revealed in a recent chat with Colossal.

The unusual locations also cause his murals to evolve constantly. The visibility changes depending on the tides, while water leaves marks on the artwork that alter it in a surreal way.

Check out more of his impressive works below.

The past year has been rough, but there’s a silver lining to be had. If anything, the pandemic has taught us the importance of living in the here and now. It also taught us the importance of having fun, because let’s face it, being miserable serves no one.

We were recently reminded of the benefits of playtime through and Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao’s art. Known collectively as Chiaozza, the two treat art as their personal playground, experimenting with a range of mediums that include sculpture, installation, collage, design, and public art.

“We like to play together, experiment together, and use materials as the balls in the game, so to speak,” shared the couple in an interview with Matter of Hand. “Play means giving ourselves permission to do whatever we want and craft means the editors in us coming out and mediating the making process,” they explain. “But play and craft are in constant flux in our practice.”

According to Chiao, they use natural and synthetic materials, treating both as sources of inspirations. “The materials can be paint, paper, brush, string glue; anything we can guide together to make an image,” they note.

According to the duo, their projects are inspired by intersections of the natural and imagined worlds, highlighting the magic that can be found in the everyday. “We might agree that the spectrum of natural versus artificial is continuous,” says Chiao.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1TjvOF-CH/

“A lot of the things that we’re attracted to come from the ‘man-made’ or ‘utilitarian’ world versus the ‘natural’ world. So they’re two descriptors that we use but they often flow into each other.”

Founded long before the pandemic, back in 2011, the couple have since exhibited their collaborative work in solo exhibitions in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, in numerous group shows around the US, and in a variety of art and design venues internationally.

Famous street artist Banksy has been busy placing animal-themed artworks all over London, UK. But art enthusiasts won’t be able to check out one of them in person as it has been stolen just hours after surfacing.

As part of his recent series, Banksy created a stencil of a howling wolf on a satellite dish in the Rye Lane neighborhood in Peckham, south-east London. The artist confirmed the work belonged to him by sharing it on social media.

David Zinn is a street artist like no other. Instead of doing murals and covering walls with graffiti art, Zinn opted to decorate the sidewalks of his city—Ann Arbor, Michigan—with intricate small-scale drawings.

Zinn has been creating street art in and around Ann Arbor since 1987, but he still encounters a blank canvas almost every time he goes out on the street. This is because he purposely chooses to draw with chalk and pastel, making his art vulnerable to elements and limited in time.

However, the temporary nature of his works makes them even more unique, especially to those who managed to spot them under their feet. Also, it gives the artist more motivation to use the sunny days to their fullest.

“There’s a moral imperative to get outside because it’s not going to last. And my idea of a nice day has drastically expanded,” Zinn explained in a recent interview.

The fact that his works don’t last long also helps Zinn to avoid run-ins with the law. While his works could be viewed as graffiti, making them illegal in Ann Arbor, he gets by thanks to the fact he isn’t making permanent changes to the city’s property.

Zinn’s small-scale drawings have made him a minor celebrity in his city and brought him recognition worldwide and on social media. He currently has almost 800L followers on Instagram, where he regularly shares his artwork. Check out more of them below.

While he was a kid, Italian artist Leonardo Ugolini enjoyed building sandcastles during his trips to the beach like most children. And he didn’t let growing up stop him from enjoying this fun activity. As a matter of fact, Ugolini managed to turn this childhood passion into a profession.

Ugolini has been building sand sculptures for the past 30 years, recreating famous buildings, architecture from fantasy worlds, mythical creatures, pop culture objects, and much more. Some of his past works include sandcastle inspired by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from Harry Potter, a replica of Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, and sand tower of Mordor from The Lord of the Rings.

Despite working with an unstable material, Ugolini usually opts for grandiose pieces that can take several weeks to complete. He recently even broke the world record for the biggest sandcastle in the world, creating a 69.4 feet (21.16 meters) tall sculpture in Denmark.

Ugolini’s sandcastles have been received a lot of attention on social media, with many of his sculptures becoming viral in a short amount of time. The positive response inspired the artist to start sharing videos on YouTube that show his creative process and contain tips about working with the sand.

His incredibly realistic and detailed works have found a home all around the world and are regularly featured at international events and festivals. Check out more of them below.

Painting murals for Los Angeles-based muralist Sean Yoro isn’t just about creating artwork on a piece of concrete. It’s also about overcoming challenges and growing as an artist with each experience.

Yoro, who also goes by his alter ego Hula, paints his artwork mostly on places that are only accessible by water. He hits the waters on his surfboard and has to paddle out to the designated spot while making sure his supplies don’t end up falling from the board. When he gets there, he battles currents and needs to work quickly before the tides come and interfere with his art.

“I had to learn not only a faster and more efficient way to paint while on a surfboard but also blending layers together needed to be able to adapt to the tides and other variables that might restrict certain areas of the wall,” Yoro revealed in a recent chat with Colossal.

The unusual locations also cause his murals to evolve constantly. The visibility changes depending on the tides, while water leaves marks on the artwork that alter it in a surreal way.

Check out more of his impressive works below.

The past year has been rough, but there’s a silver lining to be had. If anything, the pandemic has taught us the importance of living in the here and now. It also taught us the importance of having fun, because let’s face it, being miserable serves no one.

We were recently reminded of the benefits of playtime through and Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao’s art. Known collectively as Chiaozza, the two treat art as their personal playground, experimenting with a range of mediums that include sculpture, installation, collage, design, and public art.

“We like to play together, experiment together, and use materials as the balls in the game, so to speak,” shared the couple in an interview with Matter of Hand. “Play means giving ourselves permission to do whatever we want and craft means the editors in us coming out and mediating the making process,” they explain. “But play and craft are in constant flux in our practice.”

According to Chiao, they use natural and synthetic materials, treating both as sources of inspirations. “The materials can be paint, paper, brush, string glue; anything we can guide together to make an image,” they note.

According to the duo, their projects are inspired by intersections of the natural and imagined worlds, highlighting the magic that can be found in the everyday. “We might agree that the spectrum of natural versus artificial is continuous,” says Chiao.

“A lot of the things that we’re attracted to come from the ‘man-made’ or ‘utilitarian’ world versus the ‘natural’ world. So they’re two descriptors that we use but they often flow into each other.”

Founded long before the pandemic, back in 2011, the couple have since exhibited their collaborative work in solo exhibitions in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, in numerous group shows around the US, and in a variety of art and design venues internationally.
