"New mural by Blu in Melilla"

Melilla is  a small autonomous city of Spain and an exclave on the north coast of Morocco. 

Is politically part of Europe, but belong geographically to Africa.

The Italian muralist found this "ugly" wall close to the Melilla / Morocco border where everyday thousands of people are passing through the border to buy imported goods and products to resell in Morocco.

This new mural perfectly sums up the current situation of African migrants trying to enter Europe through Melilla and this quote by Ali Achet who's been stuck in the city since December 2005 says it all.

Floppy disk portraits by Nick Gentry!

UK artist Nick Gentry paint wonderful portraits on obsolete media formats such as 3.5" floppy disks.

Using old disks as a canvas, these artefacts are combined to create photo - fits and identities that may draw connections to the personal information that is then forever locked down underneath the paint.

Real life paintings!

Alexa Meade, a 23 year old Washington, DC based artist has a special talent. Where most painters make their paintings and other artistic work lively by trying to imitate a 2-D canvas into 3-D, Alexa on the other hand makes live paintings on 3-D objects and with the use of photography converts them to canvas oil painting, thus imitating life in life.

Alexa has innovated this new painting technique called Trompe-L’Oeil that compresses three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane. Her work requires a fusion of painting, photography and performance by the artists. In her approach towards creating this lively painting, Alexa coats her models with a mask of paint, that hides the body but at the same time makes it more artistically live. The models are then camouflaged with a similar looking environment and objects.

Together they give the impression of a raw 3-D oil painting, which is so clicked that it looks 2-D. The photographic presentation creates a bridge between the smoothness of the physical scenery and the impression of a canvas oil paint.
