If one day on the streets of Florence you happen to see an adult man who cleans dirt from the facades of buildings, sculptures and lanterns, then you are in front of you, the famous Italian artist Alessandro Ricci … He is a very interesting personality both among artists and among the "green", because the dirt that Alessandro collects on the streets of the city is the "paint" for his paintings. Painting pictures with smog from city streets, the artist thus stands for the protection of the environment. Unlike other unusual authors, Alessandro Ricci did not recognize himself as an artist for a long time. Instead, he devoted a lot of time to studying how the smog of city streets destroys sculptures, houses, beautiful modeling on the roofs and facades of ancient buildings. He tried to draw the attention of the authorities to this problem, but in the end he did not find anything more interesting than using smog as an artist's tools. Perhaps this did not help the environment, but the name of Alessandro Ricci became famous, and his paintings, painted with smog, were popular and in demand.
Exhibitions of paintings from smog have been repeatedly shown at the Florentine Art Gallery, some of his work are included in the personal collections of connoisseurs of contemporary art on both sides of the ocean. Alessandro believes that by selling his works, painted with smog, he not only does not deviate from his principles, but also helps to once again draw people's attention to the problem of environmental pollution.
The pictures presented here are just a small fraction of what the author has created over many years of "protective-artistic" activity. You can see the rest of the work on the Alessandro Ricci website.

Humorous graffiti on the streets of Moscow that are worth seeing before they are painted over

Painted graffiti on painted walls. Creativity Jessica Hess (Jessica Hess)
Whatever one may say, and no matter how talented, original, unusual the graffiti on the walls, pillars and fences are, they still continue to be considered vandalism, hooliganism, albeit with the prefix "art", and from time to time they chase street art masters for damage public property. But the most ardent adherents of this art form stubbornly continue to decorate city real estate with their arts, and the most cautious and unusually thinking paint graffiti on … painted walls.
