Something Completely Different: Street Art

In addition to the usual graffiti and murals on the outsides of buildings there is street art that is created directly on city streets.  The Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis features its version of this art form with brass impressionistic shapes that contain words or quotes embedded in the sidewalks.

Eduardo Relero is a street artist known world-wide for creating realistic 3-D artwork.  His surreal images invite viewers to be part of the scenes he creates.  As the images below illustrate, the images are remarkably realistic and allow viewers to photograph each other as they "interact" with the fantasy scenes he paints.
