Living in a big city is stressful in itself. Everywhere there are rude people, gray buildings. The artist Mark Reigelman probably won't do anything with the first problem, but he solves the second with his bright, positive installations in the urban art style. Bus stops turn into cozy houses, and flowers bloom on hydrants.
Mark Reigelman, an ardent fan of urban art, transforms city streets into something special, thus sharing his canvas (which are the ominous gray city labyrinths) with the German artist Evol and his wonderful houses.
Magnificent floral installations of the artist called "wrapped flower beds" in the amount of 18 pieces adorn the streets of Cleveland. And here is the bus stop that Mark has finished in the style of a home room by adding to the steel booth. comfort and warmth, was not to the liking of the authorities and was dismantled the next day.
The artist himself says that most of all he loves to engage in public art. His largest project is "Pile of Firewood", which is something like a high fence made of red bars, like those used in the old days to kindle fires. And in each such "log" a hole. This is necessary to achieve a twofold effect - there seems to be a barrier, but at the same time it is possible to communicate. The wall is red because it represents (in this case) the warmth of a campfire. These and other installations by Mark Reigelman are available on his website.
“Some people think that what I am doing is creativity, some - insane,” - says the artist. “Creativity (madness) has always played an important role for me, but it was only in high school that I realized that I could make a living doing it.” He describes his work incredibly well - like a cup of strong delicious coffee drunk on a damp foggy morning.
When an artist tries to change his hometown for the better, adding a drop of warmth, comfort, light, a couple of smiles, a little good mood to it, he says that this person is on the right path. It remains to be hoped that such creative people will appear in our cities as well.

Why did the Caucasian leader Shamil in Russian captivity surrounded with warmth and care?
By the fall of 1859, the legendary leader of the highlanders, Imam Shamil, surrendered to the Russian army. This, in fact, marked the end of the protracted Caucasian war. The theocratic state of the North Caucasian Imamate, which had lasted for about 30 years, also ceased to exist. Having fallen into Russian hands, Shamil expected, at best, exile to Siberia. But surprisingly, the Russian emperor gave the prisoner such a level of honor that even the Russian generals close to Alexander II did not know

“You shouldn't paint what you see. Paint light to bring things to life,”said the artist Thomas Schaller, who created dozens of paintings in which watercolor landscapes were frozen.
