The body is art. Food is art.
Who knew that combined, they’d make a landscape,
also art!

It’s beautiful, it’s playful.

This makes me grin. I like to grin.

Really though. His expression! The color splash amidst the grey! Heck yes.

This is flippin’ fantastic.

I love images that make your mind flip. And this guy’s illustrations are full of mind flips. Not brain-hurting mind-numbing mental gymnastics… but a (probably deceptively) simple, rather whimsical wit-flip that I thoroughly enjoy.

He’s got a book out too… I know what I want for Christmas!

Excuse my laziness as I quote Pedro Costa Neve verbatim…

“The town of Chaudfontaine, in collaboration with the Les Ateliers d’Art Contemporain association (under the Belgian Presidency of the European Union), focuses its environmental policy on the protection of biodiversity and natural sites.

Above, a clothespin lifts the upper layer of the lawn six meters high (20 feet). The artist plays with scale and proportions: we travel to Gulliver’s universe to remind us that we walk on the skin of planet Earth.”

I really did “oooh” upon seeing this image.

Sort of a merging of the individual and the environment.
The single and the many.
What’s the relationship between each individual human being and the location/culture/context they’re in?
