The climate change message of Antenna Sud by Michela Bonzi is easily understood, but among all the sadness, it is also quite a beautiful piece of art.

"For Hama Wood's mural she created a leopard, the symbol of Aberdeen and added some cheeky rats and pulleys.
...
Hama work demonstrates a reverence for nature and its immediate connection to humanity. In a search for methods to communicate the importance and revival of nature, her stencils intuitively reflect and focus on a sociological approach to greed and human consumption and its direct effect on our natural environment.
...
Her works are characterised by the use of hand cut, multi-layered stencils which are applied by spray paint. Her hope is to empower and challenge viewers to come to their own conclusions and to rethink the choices they make which effect today and tomorrow." https://www.aberdeeninspired.com/murals/hama-woods-2019

Behind The Vault Cafe

On Victoria Crescent in Nanaimo is a very popular cafe, the Vault Cafe. I visited it a year or so ago when I was seeking directions to a photographer, but I have not actually spent much time there.

Last week, however, I was hoping to take pictures of a new mural and ultimately found myself unexpectedly at The Vault Cafe again. At the time, a nearby businessman was unloading a vehicle that blocked a significant portion of the wall that I had wanted to photograph. I waited a short while to see if he would leave, but I felt like a stalker so I left.

I walked a block or so away from my original goal and as I reached The Vault Cafe, my eye was struck by some murals I had not seen before. They included some design elements that seemed to me to have origins in first nations artwork. In my imaginings, a young indigenous mural artist was practising their craft on these walls.

You can decide for yourself if my hunch has any merit, but you have to agree that the repeated overlays and varying styles are fascinating in themselves. If this were a jigsaw puzzle, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

The collectibles and antiques being advertised on the wall are in the Upstairs Bazaar which is on the second floor of the same building as The Vault Cafe.

Lynne Leegte's Windows is a final example of insightfully site specific art, replicating Singel Church's windows behind it, bringing the facade in line with other buildings.

Is This Just Fantasy (10 Photos)

This collection moves between illusion, imagination, and quiet visual tricks. You’ll find stone patterns arranged directly on a shoreline in the UK, a deep 3D street illusion opening up on a busy city pavement, large-scale murals that interact with weather and seasons, and painted figures that blend into their surroundings.

"Sanaz Mazinani's series of photographic montages, 'Forever in the Sky’, takes as its subject clouds over San Francisco. The photographs of San Francisco’s skies are intermingled with iconic San Francisco landmarks, and infused with Persian motifs to make complex portraits of the city’s sky-scape. Mazinani states, "I was always really interested in borders and issues around land and landlessness, and being an immigrant, and I found it really rewarding to look up at the sky and see these beautiful clouds moving — without any limitations, without checkpoints, without passports." “Forever in the Sky” by Sanaz Mazinani is on display, post-security, in Terminal 3. http://bit.ly/2TzG1eD" This was posted to our Instagram account on March 17, 2020 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729355453/

Making Waves by Jos Agasi & Noortje van den Eijnde was delightfully ascetic, trusting that glimmer of light is just enough. Which it is.

Seen at Amsterdam Light Festival 2025.

🐋 Not an AI! Xi'an's new landmark is pure engineering marvel ✨

Filled with helium and made up of extremely light material, these fishes can actually float on air like swimming in water!
The helium-filled sculptures create a mesmerizing underwater effect in mid-air, blending art, technology, and innovation.
