Couleurs chaudes

Public art in Montreal’s métro is one of the things that makes the system so special. This is what greets riders entering Vendôme métro station in west-end Montreal.

Corridor

This is one of the innumerable corridors making up Montreal’s so-called underground city. Whether it’s to avoid bone-chilling cold in the winter or face-melting heat in the summer, this maze of connections allows one to walk all over the city’s downtown in sheltered comfort.
With its judicious use of building materials and accent lighting, this specimen definitely falls into the art world, in my opinion, while others are a tad more utilitarian or commercial in nature.

Vers les cieux

This is a larger-than-life, two-dimensional astronaut drawn into in a huge space travel dreamscape on a wall along Mont-Royal Avenue E. in Montreal, as seen last week.
How much larger than life is it? The photo below gives you a hint.

Embrace the world

This view of our globe stands high up in an alley in downtown Phoenix, another image snapped on my visit there this past November.

Garden of glass 2

Visiting Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle is like immersing one-self in an other-worldly experience. So many delicate pieces of glass art created in funky shapes and bathed in just the right kind and right amount of light … it’s almost magical.
Snapped these images back in November.

Lichtgitter in Raum

This is what you get when you place your cellphone under suspended art — Lichtglitter in Raum by Heinz Mack, as presented at Amsterdam’s Stadelijk Museum back in September — and snap a photo.

Optics

This is one example of the fantastic wall art you can find in Budapest.

Passage to the sky

It’s hard to believe this sci-fi-esque piece of architecture belongs to something as banal as a shopping centre! Spotted in Frankfurt on a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon back in September.

Playtime

There’s a lot of serious art in modern Europe commemorating very serious events in its history. Once in a while, however, you come across something like this statue along the Danube River in Budapest: It’s just plain whimsical, celebrating the joys of everyday living.
Happy Friday.
