..or at least from the plane. .. or from the tallest building in town. ..or will be looking at you from the street wall you walk past every day.
The guy takes pictures of real people, and places them on still objects around us. That’s my favourite part of it. Last year i saw exhibition “women are heroes” in Brussels streets: http://senseslost.com/2008/06/03/jr-graffiti-art/ - faces out of another reality, placed in the city, smiling at you, knowing you have no idea what this faces ‘ve been through. And there are many stories behind.

I believe in Beauty. I believe that when colours come together, they create energy unlike any other. I believe some combinations of light, shades and reflections, can give us feeling of inner peace and happiness, a call for action or urge to sing and dance, feel the love for the whole world and every single person. In faces, in nature, in architecture, in the sky, in the plain brick wall. I believe that our eye can see more than there is. Or maybe exactly as much, while every other day we just see objects, sceneries, labels and perceptions, and we fail to see *it*. The beauty that is everywhere around us at every single moment of time.

Now i discovered the word for my relationship with art:
I am artfriendly!
Artfriendly – adj/n
1) An attitude, a positive mindset towards art and artists
2) People you might have come across in a museum or in art exhibition. A circle of people with an affinity for art, for creativity, who don’t claim to be experts. Their relation to art is open, with no prejudgment. Many of them would be happy to buy an artwork, but never, or rarely, get round to it. (Does this sound like you?)
3) Places open to creativity (Maybe the place where you are at the moment?)
4) An art label promoting inspiring visual artists and spreading their work as widely as possible at a democratic price

Great project i came across. Making art accessible, contributing to positive economy and fighting climate change at the same time. Sustainable art. Inspired by urban life, the planet and the nature. Putting together passion, responsibility and entrepreneurship. I love the idea. (And its based in Brussels.)
“Art is valuable for itspoetry and for the emotional response and inspiration it stimulates.”
