I don’t know who painted it or why. A red dot is loud, imperfect, cracking and plastered across the bark of a tree. It drew me in.
This image works because it sits between natural and artificial, intention and erosion. The bark is still bark, but the paint transforms it by flattening some areas, deepening others. Texture becomes surface. Surface becomes symbol. And the colour? It doesn't settle. It pulses.
It’s a graphic abstraction born from something ordinary. A mark without meaning, made meaningful through the act of noticing.
So over the past few weeks I have been wanting to attempt the 365 self portrait project. I have been debating weather or not it would be too much for me to take on, so I figured I would start it during my Christmas break! That way I can get into the habit of taking a photo every day. My inspiration for this photo was trying to incorporate colour and movement but still have a lot of pain and emotion - my concept wasn't really anything in particular I just knew I wanted something like this, and it happened. I really want to grow as a photographer and I think this project will challenge me to try new things and come out of my comfort zone. I would love any feedback!!

Is a giant sculpture of a butt plug which shows a vague resemblance to a Christmas tree art, or meaningless provocation?

Pretoria Fountain was bought second-hand from Florence, is much too big for the Piazza and was perceived to be provocative. The saying goes that someone from the cloister cut the sexual members off with a chisel and that these were later replaced.

The partial reopening of Varosha’s beach area in 2020 was a highly controversial move by Northern Cyprus and Turkey. International observers, including the Republic of Cyprus, the EU, and the UN, condemned the decision as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions, which call for the return of Varosha to its lawful inhabitants. Though beach loungers now line the sand, ownership disputes remain unresolved, and the gesture is widely seen as a political provocation.

Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,
SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.
The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.

Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheatpasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.
The terms "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts.[1] Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure vandalism.
Street art is often motivated by a preference on the part of the artist to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world.[2] Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation".[3]
Street artists often travel between countries to spread their designs. Some artists have gained cult-followings, media and art world attention, and have gone on to work commercially in the styles which made their work known on the streets.
