This work ‘breathes’ the style of the old master Rembrandt, not in the last place because of the use of the same techniques in light and dark. ⚪️⚫️🎨

It’s an eye-catching appearance painted on a small generator house at NDSM-Plein. 🔋⚡️ …might be there, might be gone already due to the temporary state of the art. 🖼️

The responsible artist is Donovan Spaanstra, who also has three of his works hanging as a part of the permanent collection of the “Amsterdam Museum”. 🏛️

On the right side the old master himself hints on visiting the museum more often. 👍

#MANILA, #Philippines – The so-called Filipino resilience undergoes a stress test as scorching weather “bakes” the country with elevated heat index levels.

The #ConcreteJungle that is #MetroManila is severely punished by the soaring #HeatIndex levels. Several schools have either shifted to or canceled outright face-to-face classes. #BurningEarth #ExtremeHeat

When it comes to brutalism in Armenia, this building has its unique spot on the map of soviet modernism. It is a true example of béton brut (raw concrete) Brutalist style. this urban behemoth was designed as a passage building of the bridge, which is why it is a twin building on both sides. Its imposing presence, geometric functional shapes, and brave architectural solutions leave no doubt about its era. it was designed and half-built in the 70ies then left behind to wait to be constructed for almost 3 decades when finely the bridge was constructed after a big break in 2000 there was no need for these twin buildings to function, so it left to decay.
While its future remains uncertain, there's a strange beauty in its abandonment now attracting homeless people. Love it or hate it?
