Tulips Mosaic Flower in the street by Bachor

Are you sick of stumbling into that damn driveway pothole every single day? You could fix that yourself for sure and you are surely going to make it a work of art. But how about going that extra mile, for something beautiful for the entire neighborhood. Bachor is an artist that has been filling potholes in Chicago street with vibrant mosaic flowers.

But Bachor's portfolio of mosaic works doesn't end here. The artist creates beautiful mosaic pieces fit for the wall in your living room. He's an artist with a keen eye for detail but also with a pretty good sense of humor.

" Like low-tech pixels, hundreds if not thousands of tiny, hand-cut pieces of italian glass and marble comprise my work" Bachor

Member of L"Homme T�moin [the Witness-Man], the Anti-Abstract Art Group, and a well known Expressionist painter, Bernard Buffet (1928 - 1999) he was named one of the most important 10 post-wart artists by art magazine Connaissance des Arts and one of France's Fabulous Young Five by The New York Times magazine. In the 1970s, Britain's middle class made his clown paintings quite popular, which was part of the reasons the French elite denigrated him for being kitsch and even a poser. Lately, there's been an attempt to bring back Bernard Buffet's art thanks to younger French art critics who looked past the prejudices against the artist popularized back in the 70s.

Maurice Garnier, Paris gallery owner and a friend of the painter explains "He sold too well... "He made a lot of money. He lived in an ostentatious way. The powers that be hated him for all that."

"Painting, we do not talk about it, we do not analyse it, we feel it."

Don't you love it when photographers use all kinds of methods to make their work unique? Photographer Jon Shireman soaked several kinds of flowers in liquid nitrogen and then slammed them against a hard surface using a high speed spring-based contraption. The result is a beautiful and emotional photography series called "Shattered Flowers".
