Urban Muse - Raw Provocation: A deliberate play on power and texture. This isn't just a fashion choice; it's an invitation to get closer, provided you can handle the heat.
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.

Amstelveen - Cobra Museum.
Exposition: We Kiss the Earth - Danish Modern Art 1934-1948.
Artist: Erik Ortvad.
The Danish artists who started Cobra in 1948 had a lot of influence on the much younger Dutch and Belgian Cobra members. The focus is on developments in Danish modern art from the 1930s and 1940s, with important themes such as sexual freedom, politics, provocation, experimentation and spontaneity. Themes that would later have such a great influence on Cobra.

*Mooning is the act of displaying one's bare buttocks by lowering the back side of one's trousers and underpants, usually without exposing the genitals. Mooning is used in some cultures to express protest, scorn, disrespect, or provocation. It can also be done for shock value or fun.
Word history
Moon was a common shape-metaphore for the butt in English since 1756, and the verb to moon meant 'to expose to (moon)light' since 1601, long before they were combined in US student slang in the verb(al expression) mooning "to flash the buttocks" in 1968.
Did you know!
Mooning with one's buttocks pressed against glass (for example, a car window) is known as a pressed ham.
(Ref: Wikipedia)
My note: (Against a computer screen....probably is pressed ham also!!!

:: PORTFOLIO
A narrow Castletown street animated by an unexpected sight: bicycles strung overhead, hovering between historic façades like paused thoughts mid-journey. Part public art, part gentle provocation, the installation adds a note of levity to the town’s otherwise measured rhythm.
Against stone walls, shopfronts and old street lamps, the bicycles become graphic silhouettes — a reminder that even the most tradition-minded places leave room for invention, humour, and a little visual surprise.
Mouvement suspendu
Castletown, Isle of Man
Dans une rue étroite de Castletown, des bicyclettes semblent flotter entre les façades, suspendues comme un mouvement arrêté dans le temps. À mi-chemin entre installation artistique et clin d’œil urbain, la scène introduit une touche de légèreté dans le paysage bâti.
Découpées en silhouettes graphiques sur le ciel, elles dialoguent avec les lampadaires et l’architecture ancienne — preuve que même les lieux les plus ancrés dans l’histoire savent accueillir l’invention et l’humour.

Tomi Ungerer was the artist / illustrator which was invited in our libray for its inauguration.
Une citation de lui que j'adore et trouve salvatrice:
.../...
Sous couvert de provocation, Tomi Ungerer pose bien l’enjeu de la fiction :
offrir une surface de projection pour des émotions qui existent, que nos enfants connaissent ou connaitront, quoi qu’on fasse, pour qu’ils apprennent à s’y confronter et à les maîtriser.
.../...
A quote from him that I love and find lifesaving
.../..
Under the guise of provocation, Tomi Ungerer puts the stakes of fiction well:
To offer a projection surface for emotions that exist, that our children know or will know, whatever we do, so that they learn to confront and control them.
.../...
We inaugurate too an exposition around him:
One of my first i help to build.
I was /am proud to meet this great human and share many time with it, because i was his driver to the travel to his Paris's Hostel and our library each morning / night.
He stay with us one week, full time!.
Funny time, when we lived a big story in our establishment.
Big thanks to my passionate Dominique Tabah (my "Chief"), which make all these events possible.
Greenfinches are some of the most argumentative birds I've seen. They attack and quarrel with no provocation; the young birds are the worst and they show no fear in having a good fight with an adult male.
Opening my Flickr home page tonight, I was inadvertently struck that my last five posts as Flickr framed them might be seen as suggesting five schema for the study of architecture. And that the pursuit of these, collectively, if adhered to with a rigorous fervor and a poetic suspension of disbelief, might lead the student of architectural thought toward revelations of architecture's purpose.
I would welcome thoughts and discussion here if anyone is interested.

In the language of flowers, the thistle (like the burr) is an ancient Celtic symbol of nobility of character as well as of birth, for the wounding or provocation of a thistle yields punishment.[citation needed]
The thistle has been the national emblem of Scotland since the reign of Alexander III (1249–1286) and was used on silver coins issued by James III in 1470. It is the symbol of the Order of the Thistle, a high chivalric order of Scotland. It is found in many Scottish symbols and as the name of several Scottish football clubs. The thistle, crowned with the Scottish crown, is the symbol of seven of the eight Scottish Police Forces (the exception being the Northern Constabulary). The thistle is also the emblem of Encyclopædia Britannica, which originated in Edinburgh, Scotland. Carnegie Mellon University features the thistle in its crest in honor of the Scottish heritage of its founder, Andrew Carnegie.
