A frozen or snowy car can cause quite a few headaches. Frozen windows, frozen lock, frozen door. Cold, snow and ice are an inconvenience for the car, but sometimes they make sure that they create the right works of art on it. Yes, some cars can be real artistic souls.

An art painting can perfectly complement a room, but finding the right one, one that we will be happy to look at for years and years, without getting tired of it, can be a difficult task. Electric Objects makes it a lot easier for you with the EO2. It is a large HD LCD screen with a matte frame for displaying artistic images that do not require you to commit to one image forever, but you can change them like shirts, as easily as the wallpaper on your phone or computer screen.
In the US, high school students with a driver's license have a very special privilege. Not only do they get their own parking spot, in Florida and Texas they can even make it their own, like their own kindergarten. One day a year is dedicated to painting parking lots.
Museums can be a really great thing, but you have to admit that some of them are pretty boring. So it's no surprise that some people get tired of them. When we see so many frescoes and classic paintings for the uninitiated and Sunday art lovers, they all become more or less the same. But museums don't have to be boring, especially in the age of Snapchat. Don't know what we mean? Then take a look at this photo gallery and everything will be clear to you immediately. If works of art could talk…
Jürgen Lingl-Rebetez is an artist with a chainsaw. A chainsaw sculptor to be exact. His wooden creations are so precise and lifelike that one cannot believe that they were created with such crude and rough tools.
Did you know that in the right eye of the Mona Lisa are hidden the initials of the author of this most famous painting in the history of fine arts, Leonardo da Vinci, or that the painting Primavera (Spring) by Sandro Botticelli includes 500 types of plants?

Art is for everyone, but not everyone likes visiting art museums. The Paris Musées organization, which takes care of 14 Parisian museums, does not intend to "convert" those who do not like visiting museums, but rather offered them a more comfortable alternative: an online platform in which it "exhibits" its entire assortment of works of art. To promote the platform, they set up an imaginative advertising campaign tailored to the modern web user, in which ten star Instagram users were offered the opportunity to recreate one of the works of art in their own way.
Potholes are a harsh reality of many roads and sidewalks. Since the authorities usually start very late, drivers can often only protest helplessly, "break the teeth" of vehicles, and cyclists burst tires. If some time ago we met an artist who drew attention to the holes and cracks of those responsible by drawing penises, Jim Bachor approached the matter differently. Instead of waiting and asking the authorities to send a construction company with asphalt over the potholes, he patches the potholes himself with beautiful mosaics.
We are used to picture frames having four sides or being round. That the frame is trimmed or simple. Well, the Fusion Frames series is something else entirely. These are artificial frames from which branches "grow" and which are works of art in themselves, which do not need pictures to make sense of them.
The artworks of French street artist Julien Malland, better known by his stage name Seth Globepainter, are scattered all over the world. His giant frescoes can be found in cities on different continents. His canvas is the boring walls and facades of buildings, which, however, come to life and enliven the surroundings with his works of art. Should he also be invited to Slovenia? Which building could you breathe life into?
Cakes are works of art of their own. But the artist, who is not so much a master of baking and wielding a kitchen as a master of wielding a brush, Maria A. Aristidou, has taken the confectionary craft one step further. Instead of a canvas, she chose the surface of a cake for her creations, which she covered with famous paintings by famous painters such as van Gogh, Munch, Dali and Picasso for the confectionery Vienna Boutique - Cake Gallery. Cakes more for the frame and galleries than for the mouth.
Canadian intellectual Marshall McLuhan once said: "Art is all we can hide ourselves with." While the quote cuts a bit into the community of artists, it also illuminates the undeniable truth that art is often painfully subjective. Here are ten shockingly expensive pieces of art that we think a child could make.
