I would like to create a thread with all kinds of nice sculptures, craffiti, stencils and whatever art you can find in puplic places.
I start.

The Guggenheim is beautifull. But in general sculptures are more appealing to me than architecture.
But go ahead and post a pic af the building.

Architectur art best art.
People who made those buildings are gods in my eyes. To name some: Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid.

My favorite architectural style is brutalism. When I have long and detailed dreams, these are the kind of buildings I see in them:

Art in general I have way too many likes to ever post them all, but lets start with Zdzislaw Beksinski:

Wayne Barlowe's version of Hell is basically how I always imagined it:

And to round things out, images from the Codex Seraphinianus by Luigi Serafini. It is an entire encyclopedia hundreds of pages long and written in an imaginary script that describes a surreal alternate reality:

I managed to borrow the Codex through the interlibrary loan system, it came from a library from another state's university. Would love to own a copy, but it is out of print and costs hundreds of dollars. I think it may have been inspired by the Voynich manuscript, an alchemical (?) codex from the 1400s that has pictures of plants the do not and never have existed, detailed in a language seen nowhere else in history and never translated. I'm sure its fiction, but the fact that its presented in an encyclopedic format like "yup here is some things that exist" sends a chill up my spine the same way a good horror story does.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Use to have this as my clan banner for a very short duration... :D
Pretty sure it was the inspiration for the character name "beached_dolphin". #historylesson
