It's going to be 40 degrees … And the last thing I want to read or see to take my mind off things is people telling me that it's going to be 40 degrees, or "It's only 20 degrees here," or that the world is coming to an end. Social media is hell.

🟤 Opinion. 👋🏻 📷 by Artist: #IncartatoCeramics (Michele Carta) in Loc.: #Modena Italy 🇮🇹 - Title: "Fuck" (The Issues Collection) - #Art #Photo #Artist #Vase #Ceramics #AdvertisingArt #Fotografie #Photography ➡️ #APhotoLove

Photography and advertising image. A color photograph of a provocative ceramic tableware in the shape of a vase with an imprint. The photo shows a white ceramic vase with artificial golden metal flowers on an elegant wooden cabinet. The inscription is unusual, as it reads "Fuck" in large, old blue letters. Next to it is an ensemble with two glass salt and pepper shakers and in the background you can see a piece of a yellow-framed painting on a green wall.
Info: The photo is part of an advertising campaign by an Italian ceramics manufacturer presenting its collection of provocative tableware. I have decided not to link to this photo as it is a business with which I am in no way affiliated.

Hi. To escape the madness of the next few days (german election, wrong winners, USA madness, Ukraine, right-wing extremists, stupid comments, etc.), I'm avoiding all media for a few days and taking a vacation from the madness. See you next week. 🤧👋🏻 #Streetart #Art - Art/Pic by: #Themisfortuneteller

Photography and poetry. The photo shows a small, white, square tablet lying on a table. On it is a handwritten sentence in black ink: "In a world of shouting, being quiet is a revolutionary act". Above it are two orange earplugs.

🗳️ Artist: #LarsPKrause + #SLIDER + #Bandits + #Cromatics in City: #Dresden Germany 🇩🇪 2019 - Title: "In der Wut verliert der Mensch seine Intelligenz" ("In rage, one loses ones intelligence") - (📷 Jenny /Weltwunderer) - #Streetart #Art #Artist #Mural #Wahl2025 #Bundestagswahl #NoAfD #Vote #Democracy

Streetartwall. A mural for the 2019 election was sprayed/painted on a 420 square meter wall in Dresden. In the colors yellow and green and designed like an art nouveau poster, a girl is depicted with a ballot box. She is wearing a shirt and a long-sleeved T-shirt on top of each other and has short curly hair peeking out from under a baseball cap. She is holding a rose in her hand. The other hand is resting on a cardboard box with a slit that reads "In the rage, moan loses his intelligence".
Info: The idea with this huge election poster was to get as many eligible voters as possible to cast a democratic and sustainable vote. The slogan originally came from the Dalai Lama.

Photography. A color photo of two foxes at night against an urban backdrop. Two foxes, one small and one large, can be seen from behind as they trot side by side towards a residential area. The smaller fox is looking at the larger one. The photo was taken from a hiding place close to the ground. Streetlights with round lamps, houses and street trees can be seen out of focus. The photo has a warm brown coloration and a wonderful aura, as you become a companion of the photographer who is secretly observing the two.
Info: The photographer: "This fox family has had a den under an abandoned building in downtown Whitehorse for several years.... They are very curious about people, which sometimes makes it difficult to photograph them. A couple years ago I had a GoPro set up in front of their burrow, and one of the little guys stole it before I could react. If they ever tear this old building down, I'd be so curious to see what they've collected over the years..."

Streetartwall. A beautiful mural of a red-haired young woman with a cat has been painted on the slightly curved exterior wall of a two-storey modern building in the city center. The young woman is depicted from head to toe as a huge painting (7.00 x 2.00 m) on a beige background. With a friendly look in her eyes, the woman, elegantly dressed in a blue dress with a yellow floral pattern and high brown boots, gazes in the direction of passers-by. A gray striped cat nestles around her neck and she holds a black bird in front of her with both hands. The mural has a positive mood created by the interplay of graceful elements, floral and animal motifs and is reminiscent of Art Nouveau depictions.

Streetartwall. A comic-style mural depicting an unusual couple has been painted on the white exterior wall of a pub. It shows an older couple making out. He is an older man with a brown jacket and a brown plaid cap on his head. She has purple hair, glasses, earrings and is wearing a purple coat with a pattern. She has purple hair, glasses, earrings and is wearing a purple coat with a pattern. She boldly grabs his arm and energetically gives him a snog on the mouth. The mural is a real eye-catcher and has almost become a Sheffield landmark.
Info: Pete McKee (born 1966) is an English cartoonist who tells short stories with minimalistically drawn figures and a colorful "pop art" aesthetic. The mural with the lovers from Sheffield was originally painted for an exhibition in 2013 and has suffered somewhat over the years. Reason enough to freshen it up in 2025 and give Joy a new hairstyle and a new coat.

🟤 More... Favorite photos? 📷 and Art by Artist: #AndersKrisár 🇸🇪 in Loc.: #Seoul Korea 🇰🇷 - Title: "untitled" - #Art #Skulpture #Artist #Fotografie #Photography ➡️ #APhotoLove

Photography and art. A color photograph of a sculpture in an exhibition space in Korea, showing two naked, hairless human figures sitting side by side on a brown block and holding hands. They look a little like 1 meter tall dolls, but the figures are both only half, as if they had each been cut in half. Twins split in half. The object, which is interesting in itself, stands in front of a glass front that reveals a view of green, bushy ferns. This confuses the viewer, as one involuntarily wants to complete the two figures in one's mind, as there are clear cuts between the green, the half-human, the green in between, the next half-human and the green again. Both the sculpture and the photo are thought-provoking and that is... Art.
Medium: Acrylic paint on polyester resin
Info: The Swedish artist Anders Krisár (born 1973) works on contemporary sculptures and photographs. With precision and meticulous craftsmanship, he creates sculptures that explore the human psyche and identity. Objects of simultaneous horror and beauty. The artist exhibits in galleries and exhibitions worldwide.

💙 Artist: #CitéCréation + #MaxCabannes in City: #Angoulême /6 Bd Pasteur / France 🇨🇵 2002 - Title: "La Fille des Remparts" - (📷 by Yann Le Noay) - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #Painting #Blue #Classics #Travel

Streetartwall. A fantastic mural based on a comic drawing by Max Cabannes has been installed on the outside wall of a four-storey building on the city wall. The huge mural (120 m²) is painted entirely in shades of blue and shows a girl leaning against the city wall and looking down on the city below. This painted light blue wall connects to the real city wall on the right. The mural shows the view of a town built into the rock on the wall of the house. It incorporates parts of the surroundings, such as roofs and parts of buildings, e.g. the city wall, and continues them in an imaginary view. A wonderfully precise work that extends over several levels and characterizes the cityscape.

Streetartwall. On the beige-colored wall of a tunnel with lots of graffiti, a funny mural with a cheerful cat's head in comic style was sprayed. It appears to be a "naked cat", without fur, with pointed orange ears and nose, blue eyes and a big smile on its face. An orange heart glows next to it and a few blue bubbles float above it. It may not be a masterpiece, but it certainly puts you in a really good mood.

Photography. A humorous black and white photo of a small child reading a newspaper while sitting on the shoulders of his father, who is also reading a newspaper. The child is wearing winter clothes and a woolly hat and is sitting on the shoulders of a middle-aged man in a winter coat, with half-length hair and glasses. The two are engrossed in their newspapers as they walk past a street with old buildings and a dark rolling gate. An amusing photo with the typical look of the seventies at the time of the "Iron Curtain" in the Soviet Union.

Streetartwall. A very cool mural of a man smoking was sprayed on the red brick exterior wall of a bar in Manchester. The head of a man with a full beard and a smoking cigarette in the corner of his mouth was "drawn" with black spray paint on a white background. In fact, this mural consists of an infinite number of small black lines and is fantastically detailed.
The man with the wrinkles on his forehead looks at the viewer almost hypnotically. (Note: Incidentally, the face strongly resembles that of the artist)
Info: C215 is the artist name of Christian Guémy, a famous French street artist, painter and curator from Paris. He became known for his beautiful cat paintings sprayed with stencils on public walls and has since become an important figure in the French art scene, showered with medals and awards.

🪽 Artist: #MortMurray / #JohnMurray in City: #Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 02/2025 - Title: "Eshay" - #Streetart #Art #Artist #Mural #Emu

Streetartwall. In a Melbourne laneway full of street art, a mural of a funny cartoon emu has been sprayed/painted on a narrow wall. The emu (named Eshay) is depicted up to his shoulders. He has medium length black hair and wears a red baseball cap with a Nike sign (a stylized wave) and sunglasses with yellow lenses. He is unshaven, as he has many individual thin hairs on his chin, a long, narrow nose and a very wide mouth with the corners of his mouth pointing downwards. He appears to be a tourist because, in addition to a blue and white polo shirt and a silver necklace, he is wearing a purse belt around his neck. A landscape in the outback is reflected in his glasses. A very funny emu mural
Info: John Murray is a gallery owner and illustrator. His humorous interpretations of nature and culture are very amusing and his emus are irresistible. His gallery with his own works in Lightning Ridge is a tourist magnet.

Art. (from a completely bonkers American president). President Donald Trump is branding himself a monarch on social media accounts on X, Instagram and Facebook. He made an unprecedented declaration on Wednesday while applauding his administration’s decision to terminate federal approval of New York’s congestion pricing program: “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” Trump wrote on his social platform Truth Social. “LONG LIVE THE KING!” The official White House social media accounts on X, Instagram and Facebook soon quoted his post, all sharing a fake magazine cover depicting an illustration of Trump smiling in a suit — and wearing a bejeweled golden crown. In the corner of the magazine cover appears the text: “LONG LIVE THE KING.”

Photography. A black and white photo of a group of children playing on a long slide. The picture shows a lively scene on a hill, which is overgrown with grass on the side. A curved metal slide leads from top to bottom and serves as the center of the action. A child climbs up the hill while another child slides down in the middle of the slide. In the foreground, a teenager stands with his legs apart at the end of the slide and looks up at this child. Two more children are standing next to him and others are standing at the top of the hill. The children are dressed in woolen sweaters or jackets and jeans. A multi-storey concrete apartment building can be seen in the background. Although the natural light in the photo is subdued, it radiates the vibrancy and energy of the children playing in a rather poor residential area. A fleeting beautiful moment captured forever.
Info: The photo is from the series "D'un Jour, L'autre" by Belgian photographer Martine Franck (1938-2012), a collection of over a hundred pictures. These are her favorite photos from her 30-year career. Martine Franck was also the wife of the famous photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, but her narrative style is different. She skillfully captures fleeting moments, is interested in people rather than effects and tries to capture moods. and tries to capture moods rather than documenting the conspicuous. "We can paint everything, but we can't photograph everything".

Streetartwall. A cheerful, colorful mural in a modern, naive painting style was sprayed/painted on a narrow dividing wall of a four-story modern apartment building. The painting shows four young people in abricot and purple clothing climbing a tree and helping each other. All four are holding their arms above their heads and supporting each other among leaves and colorful flowers in a meadow in the background. The colors of the flowers and the meadow are bright and vibrant, the whole mural has a cheerful and positive vibe and transforms the otherwise boring, conformist house fronts into something very beautiful.

Photography and Art. A Color photo of a standing young woman with long brown hair, bending forward with her naked upper body. She is wearing bright white trousers and the surroundings are also completely white. The interplay of the oval of the brown skin, the two small dark shadows that appear at the top of the shoulders, the slightly lighter white of the trousers and the long flowing hair gives the impression that one can see a large nose from which hair is growing.

Art. Satirical illustration. The illustration shows a scale in the form of a line graph dealing with US diplomacy. On the left side is an upward pointing line with an arrow indicating three categories: GOOD at the top, BAD below, and at the bottom: ROCK BOTTOM. Rock Bottom is the bottom continuous line pointing to the right. A scale in the form of a red dashed line is now displayed. The line is labeled "US diplomacy" and runs downwards in waves. It starts between GOOD and BAD and breaks through the bottom line. There you can first see a spade, then an excavator a little further down on the right and an oil rig on the far right, which digs further down together with the red line. The lower reference value on the scale is: TIME.
Info: Edith Pritchett is a cartoonist for the Guardian's Saturday magazine and the Washington Post.

Streetartwall A mural of a woman surrounded by a sea of red was painted on the outside wall of a four-storey modern building. The picture shows a young woman without hair, wearing white jeans and a white blouse, who appears to be floating on the wall. She raises her arms in front of her up to her head. Behind her is another person who looks almost exactly the same, with her arms raised high. Everything around her is red with little white snowflakes. The bright colors of the clothes are blurred, as if they are moving or underwater. The snowflakes are interrupted by larger pieces.
Info: The mural has the theme of microplastics and environmental pollution. It shows a person who wants to break out of this cycle. In addition to the snowflakes, small pieces of plastic are floating next to her, detaching from her clothes and polluting the environment.

🟤 More... Favorite photos? 📷 by Artist: #StuartChape in Loc.: #LakePukaki Tasman River, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand 🇳🇿 2024 - Title: "Glacial Blue" Series - #Art #Travel #Artist #Fotografie #Photo #Photography #Landscape ➡️ #APhotoLove

$Photography. A breathtaking color photo of a glacial landscape in New Zealand in winter. The aerial view shows the branching glacial Tasman River on the South Island as it flows over the glacial moraine into Lake Pukaki. The branching thin channels of the Tasman, Godley and Cass rivers form a breathtaking tapestry of turquoise hues against the snow-covered landscape. Like a painting, the different shades of turquoise flow in long, gentle waves from the top to the bottom of the picture, where they merge into a narrow strip. Prominent snow-capped mountains (Aoraki/Mount Cook) appear in the distance, majestically framing the terrain. A breathtaking photo in the colors blue/turquoise and white with a certain drama and a skillful perspective that makes the picture appear almost two-dimensional. Info: The multi-award-winning photo was taken by Stuart Chape. He specializes in aerial photography of landscapes from helicopters and light aircraft, but portraits as well as documentary and social photography are also an important part of his portfolio. The blue coloration of the water in the photo is caused by the refraction of light on fine particles of silt or "glacial flour" in the water, created by glacial erosion.$

🫶🏻 Artist: #QWERT / #QwertArt in City: #Paris 10éme /17 Bd de Magenta/ #France 🇫🇷 2023 - Title: untitled - #Streetart #Art #UrbanArt #Artist #Pasteup #ThrowbackTuesday

Streetartwall. On a narrow exterior wall between two stores, a small self-painted paste-up with an elderly couple in comic style has been stuck somewhat hidden. The two seniors are sitting on a wooden bench directly above a yellow letterbox and holding hands. The figures both have googly eyes of different sizes and are wearing old-fashioned clothes; he is holding a walking stick. They both look at the viewer. A wonderful idea, because nobody expects to see art in this niche between a bar and a pharmacy. The photo is a bit older, and paste-ups never last very long. Hopefully it was there for a long time.
