Sao Paulo street artist Felipe Carrelli transforms abandoned cars into art and garden spaces.
“The government has a duty to take the abandoned car away when people in the community ask them. But the government isn’t efficient enough, nor does it have the desire to recover all of the abandoned cars in the city. So they support us in silence,” says Carrelli.

Cecily Brown, Trouble in Paradise, 1999
From the Tate Gallery:
Trouble in Paradise hovers between representation and abstraction, between the depiction of figures engaged in an indistinct sexual act and a bravura display of brushwork. Broad areas of flesh colour on the left of the picture suggest a woman’s parted legs. In the top left corner of the painting is a face, its mouth gaping in pleasure or horror. A grey form in the centre of the composition resembles a man’s naked back. Set against a black background which heightens the drama of the painting, ribbons and swirls of warm colour cover almost the entire surface of the painting.
Brown’s work is a visceral representation of sexuality in paint, with bodies depicted in bold painterly gestures and fleshy colours. Brown’s evident mastery of her medium is evidenced in the fluency with which she moves from anatomical description to sheer exuberant gesturalism. Vibrant red, yellow and pink paint has been worked into the canvas in impasto layers. The painting is covered with a glossy varnish, giving the surface a reflective, tactile finish.

“We don’t know much about Francesco Romoli, but we do know that the talented Italian artist creates all kinds of fictitious worlds through his digital art. Romoli, who seems to enjoy keeping a low profile, says “I am nobody, I don’t exist. I love using my imagination and my Canon 1000D.” This series, entitled Imaginary Towns, features a single, lonely person set next to dimly lit streets and flat, cardboard buildings. Romoli’s various city streets are collages of his own photographs, blended into incredibly inventive locations with distinct lighting and dramatic shadows. His subjects seem to be lost in sadness, wandering alone and in search of something. But, viewers only see a small glimpse into the story, left lingering with the mystery of what brought each person to such despair, and left to fill in the pieces of the puzzle as to how the story might end.”
really great work
