Dugin is a "philosopher". How could it be known why Dugin wasn't about to penetrate deeper into the intellectual discourse of the left.🤣

Eleven public sculptures and street objects where the joke lands in one look, from a harbor breakwater in The Hague to a 12th-century church portal in France.

streetartutopia.comI Didn’t Expect That (11 Photos vol. 3)## Public **sculptures** with a punchline A harbor breakwater in The Hague hid a Rubik’s Cube, and a Cold War bunker in Prague turned into R2-D2. In Moscow, a set of garbage bins grew teeth and claws and lost most of them within a day. And in Conques, a stone face carved about 900 years ago still peers over a church portal. More: **14 Photos Funny Sculptures With a Clever Twist** * * * ### 🧩 Rubik’s Cube Breakwater Block — Scheveningen, The Hague, Netherlands 🇳🇱 Roel Wijnants photographed this sea-worn Rubik’s Cube on a Scheveningen harbor breakwater in August 2013, one painted block among plain concrete ones. It’s the only block in the pile anyone would try to pick up. More: **Eroded Rubik’s Cube in the Netherlands** * * * ### ♻️ “This Waste Is Not a Toy” — By Andrej Josifovski in Bečej, Serbia 🇷🇸 A LEGO-style figure eight meters tall, built on a steel frame and wrapped in cardboard, stood guard over the landfill in Bečej. Architect Andrej Josifovski Pijanista made it to call out Serbia’s illegal dumps, and later versions went up at landfills in Dolovo and near Inđija. **💡 Award Fact:** The project, “Eko čikica – ovaj otpad nije igračka,” won the research and experiment category at the 45th Architecture Salon. More than 35 people helped build it. More: **This Waste Is Not a Toy by Andrej Josifovski** * * * ### 🤖 R2-D2 Bunker Vent — Folimanka Park, Prague, Czechia 🇨🇿 Anonymous artists painted the ventilation shaft of a buried Cold War bunker in Folimanka Park as R2-D2 and added a concrete piece on each side of the dome. It was never city-sanctioned, but in October 2017 Prague 2 said it would not remove the robot. **💡 Bunker Fact:** The shelter underneath was built in the late 1950s and early 1960s and could hold 1,300 civilians. More: **Transforming a Nuclear Shelter: The Rise of R2-D2 Graffiti** * * * ### 🐿️ “Climate Climax” — By FALCO in Cachan, France 🇫🇷 FALCO worked the fire hydrant at the foot of the wall into the stencil: its hose runs up to a squirrel aiming a long blue jet over a row of dark pines. He shared it from Cachan, just south of Paris, under the title “Climate Climax.” More: **Spreading Peace in Roubaix, France** 🔗 Follow **FALCO on Instagram** * * * ### 🎼 Conductor’s Hand Parking Barriers — Estonian National Opera, Tallinn, Estonia 🇪🇪 At the parking entrance of the Estonian National Opera, each barrier arm was a conductor’s baton held by a sculpted hand, so every car got its own downbeat. The opera’s general manager, Aivar Mäe, came up with the musical barriers, and TwistedSifter made them a Picture of the Day in July 2014. * * * ### 🗑️ “PREDATOR” — By Nikita Golubev in Moscow, Russia 🇷🇺 Golubev turned a row of trash containers in Moscow’s Tyoply Stan district into one monster: yellow eyes on the lids, a red mouth full of teeth and blue claws on the open doors. When he came back the next day, most of it had been torn off and only the eyes were left. More: **Dirt Made Into Art (10 Photos)** 🔗 Follow **Nikita Golubev on Instagram** * * * ### 🐕 Rain-Boot Dog — La Manufacture, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, France 🇫🇷 A few green rubber boots make one small dog, parked by a glass storefront. It’s one of the boot dogs the local tourism office calls traffic signs for La Manufacture, a creative hub for about 20 makers at the end of Impasse de l’Hôtel de Palerme, off Rue de la République. More: **15 Times Cities Forgot to Be Serious** * * * ### 🐱 “Maui” Cat Can — By My Dog Sighs My Dog Sighs painted a tabby’s face across a crushed can, and the dents give it a squashed little body to go with the big green eyes. This one is a commissioned portrait of a cat named Maui. **💡 Can Fact:** Faces painted on discarded tin cans are a My Dog Sighs signature, and for ten years he gave his art away on the street as part of his Free Art Friday project. More: **Eyes That Speak: My Dog Sighs** 🔗 Follow **My Dog Sighs on Instagram** * * * ### 🧱 Tiny Man Lifting a LEGO-Style Brick — By Slinkachu A man no taller than a fingertip hoists a red LEGO-style brick over his head on a ledge above a busy road, while a kid in red watches. It’s from Slinkachu’s Little People project, which has been leaving tiny figures on city streets since 2006. More: **Little People by Slinkachu (Part 2 of 4)** 🔗 Follow **Slinkachu on Instagram** * * * ### 🐨 “Half-Half Coala” — By Bordalo II in Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹 Half of the koala is painted to look like soft gray fur, and the other half shows exactly what it’s made of: plastic, scrap and other trash. It went up in Xabregas, Lisbon, replacing Bordalo II’s earlier Plastic Frog on the same wall. **💡 Series Fact:** In Bordalo II’s Half-Half series, each animal is split between a natural-looking side and a plastic side, a contrast his site ties to the waste that destroys animal habitats. More: **Bordalo II Builds Animals From Trash (30 Photos)** 🔗 Follow **Bordalo II on Instagram** * * * ### 👀 The Curieux — Abbey Church of Sainte-Foy, Conques, France 🇫🇷 Above the Last Judgment portal of Sainte-Foy in Conques, one of the curieux (curious ones) peeks over the molding, eyes just clearing the stone and fingers hooked over the edge like a kid at a fence. Kenyon College’s photo archive places these figures over the tympanum arch, and the Conques tourist office dates the tympanum to the first half of the 12th century.

A snake squeezes a parked bus in France, and a porcupine covers a whole cabin in Canada. Ten murals where the animals are as big as the buildings.

streetartutopia.comAnimals Took Over (10 Photos)## When animals become part of the architecture A snake squeezes a parked bus in France, and a porcupine swallows the walls of a cabin in Canada. In these ten murals, the animals are as big as the buildings they’re painted on. * * * ### Giant Cat — LexusOne in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia The whole gable becomes the cat’s face, framed by the building’s brick corners. A real tree runs straight up between its green eyes, and an old car parked below shows the scale. LexusOne signed the work down the right-hand edge. Art: LexusOne · Source * * * ### Snake Bus — SWEO and Nikita 5.7crew in Larnas, France A parked bus becomes both canvas and prey in this anamorphic snake at MAD MAZE, an activity park in Larnas in the Ardèche. Art: SWEO and Nikita 5.7crew · MAD MAZE · Source * * * ### A Giant Cat Gets Comfortable — Woskerski in Southend-on-Sea, UK An orange tabby sprawls across giant stone letters spelling out the city’s name, its legs hanging over the edges. The wall, at 18 Western Esplanade, was painted for Southend City Jam 2026 and is logged on Street Art Cities. **💡 Festival Fact:** Southend City Jam is a free three-day festival run by Southend-on-Sea City Council with local artists Steve Hart and Karl Sims, and brings more than 100 artists to the city center and seafront. Its roots go back to the town’s graffiti scene of the 1980s. Art: Woskerski · Artwork · Source * * * ### Collective Mind — Shozy in Neftekamsk, Russia Bees crawl up the side of a tall apartment block, where two painted flaps seem to peel the facade open to show golden honeycomb inside. Each bee is about as large as a window, set among the real balconies. **💡 Culture Fact:** The festival curators, Art-embassy Supernova, describe bees as an image of Bashkir culture and of collective labor. The wall on Lenin Street was painted for Iskra Urban Fest, organized by the Republic of Bashkortostan’s culture and public utilities ministries together with the city of Neftekamsk. Art: Shozy · Iskra Urban Fest 2020 · Source * * * ### Zero Sum — Jack Lack in Southend-on-Sea, UK Two enormous gulls turn a familiar seaside fight over chips into a full-wall scene. Jack Lack’s mural covers a gable at 1 Nelson Mews. Art: Jack Lack · Photo: The Reves One · Southend City Jam · Source * * * ### A Seal and Orcas Swim Across Two Buildings — JanIsDeMan in Klaksvík, Faroe Islands A seal looks out from the gable of one building while orcas glide along the larger wall behind it. Painted in the same turquoise, the two walls read as one stretch of water, with the green hills of Klaksvík rising above the rooftops. Art: JanIsDeMan · Local project · Source * * * ### A Child Faces a Giant Bird — Dan23 in Truchtersheim, France A small painted girl stands before a kingfisher that fills the wall, with a ladybug, bee, butterfly, frog and fish around them. The painted line “La Beauté naît de la Biodiversité dans le jardin de l’amitié” (beauty is born from biodiversity in the garden of friendship) echoes the name of Truchtersheim’s elementary school, Le Jardin de l’Amitié. The wall is signed and dated 2026. Art: Dan23 · Artwork · Source * * * ### A Giant Fish Swims Through Dover — Squirl-art in Dover, UK The fish covers the whole side of the building in sharp teal and black shapes. Its body is packed with pink, red and green hills, trees and a small house, and a few small dark fish swim along the bottom edge. Art: Squirl-art · Artwork · Source * * * ### A North American Porcupine Takes Over the Cabin — Nick Sweetman in Lac-Édouard, Canada The cabin’s wooden siding disappears into a porcupine whose glowing quills spread almost from wall to wall. Its orange eyes stare straight out, and small silhouettes of spruce trees and a water tower sit low on either side. **💡 Artist Fact:** Toronto-based Nick Sweetman holds a master’s degree in fine art from OCAD and is best known for murals of pollinators. Since 2017 he has organized butterfly mural projects in Toronto’s parks with the city and the David Suzuki Foundation. Art: Nick Sweetman · Source * * * ### Two Bramblings Cover the Tower — Sagie in Gothenburg, Sweden The birds perch across a residential tower at Siriusgatan 120 in Bergsjön, with windows and balconies breaking through the painted branches. The housing company Familjebostäder announced the work in August 2026; the Swedish name for the species, bergfink, nods to the neighborhood. Art: Sagie · Source

On this day. "V8's are back" they never left. The thirst for nostalgia came as the pop began to age and global trade started to breakdown comfortable assumptions. "Moffat's new Falcon" was running carbs instead of electronic fuel injection. It was slow and loud, when it failed there was applause.

Only one part of a portrait by Fábio Gomes Trindade keeps growing: the girl’s hair, which is a real tree. Elsewhere in this collection, the greenery is sometimes alive and sometimes just paint.

streetartutopia.comRoom to Grow (8 Photos)## When plants become part of the picture Only one part of a portrait by Fábio Gomes Trindade keeps growing: the girl’s hair, which is a real tree. Elsewhere in this collection, the greenery is sometimes alive and sometimes just paint. * * * ### 🌿 True Nature — By Daniel Popper in Cancún, Mexico 🇲🇽 The figure holds its face between two enormous hands, revealing a garden inside its head. Leaves spill through the opening and gather around its shoulders, with the sea visible beyond. The detached face keeps its eyes closed. **💡 Nerd Fact:** The 2023 sculpture stands in Bohemian Square in Cancún. Made in partnership with Grupo Rosanegra from a steel subframe and glass-fiber reinforced concrete, it is a reinvention of an earlier piece of his. Popper’s description pairs it with one of his favorite quotes: “Your true self is not something you need to find; it is something you need to remember.” More: **Daniel Popper Builds Giants You Can Walk Through (32 Photos)** 🔗 Follow **Daniel Popper on Instagram** * * * ### 🌳 Green Crown — By Fábio Gomes Trindade in Trindade, Brazil 🇧🇷 The painted girl smiles from a pink wall, and her orange headband sits exactly where the paint meets the real branches. Her yellow shirt and the bright wall keep her face easy to find beneath all that green. More: **Murals by Fábio Gomes Trindade (8 Photos)** 🔗 Follow **Fábio Gomes Trindade on Instagram** * * * ### 🌺 The Healer — By Drapl and Luvsic in Roskilde, Denmark 🇩🇰 A face with closed eyes sits between blue flowers and a cluster of peach-colored hibiscus. Blue butterflies, big leaves and pink-and-blue zigzags spread across the dark wall. In their collaboration post, the artists named it “The Healer” and described it as an ovation to healers and the healing process. It was painted for Piece for Peace through RF Graff at Roskilde Festival. 🔗 Follow **Drapl on Instagram** and **Luvsic on Instagram** * * * ### 🍂 Colos Curva — By Jon Foreman in Little Milford Woods, Wales, UK 🇬🇧 Yellow, orange and green leaf fragments form a pointed oval around a dark center, edged in red. The trunk looks as if it has split open. In his own post for the work, Foreman explains that nothing was carved: the hollow is built up with clay, with dark earth for the shadowed parts, in Little Milford Woods in Pembrokeshire. More: **10 Forest Sculptures By Jon Foreman** 🔗 Follow **Jon Foreman on Instagram** * * * ### 🦌 Moss Deer — By Carly Schmitt This deer is made from moss, with thin legs and branching antlers traced across a white wall. Part of its body disappears behind a gray shutter. Up close, the moss is rough and uneven, and a few real weeds grow at its feet where the wall meets the cobblestones. **💡 Artist Fact:** Schmitt holds a B.A. from Macalester College and an M.F.A. from the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany, and received an Alexander von Humboldt German Chancellor Fellowship. As founder of Artist @ Large, she runs large-scale public art and community projects. 🔗 Visit **Carly Schmitt’s website** * * * ### 💙 Floral Gaze — By Drapl and Strange Harvest in Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 Here, every flower is paint. Blue blossoms gather in a woman’s hair, backed by a large flower-shaped pattern that spreads across the brickwork. The peeling surface shows through the paint, even on her cheek. 🔗 Follow **Drapl on Instagram** and **Strange Harvest on Instagram** * * * ### 🌱 Planting the Future — By Rogue One in Glasgow, Scotland, UK 🇬🇧 A child in a yellow jacket tends the ground beneath a tree that reaches up the building. Real windows sit within its painted trunk. The wall at 11 Kilbeg Terrace was painted for Glen Oaks Housing Association in Arden and unveiled in November 2025. More than 200 tenants helped shape the design, which reflects growth, change and resilience.

A real garden stone supplies the top of his tall hat, and pink flowers grow just behind him. It is quite an entrance for someone so small. **💡 Sidewalk Fact:** Zinn has been creating artwork in and around Ann Arbor since 1987. His street drawings are always improvised on location, and they have turned up as far away as beaches in California, village squares in Sweden and street corners in Taiwan.
