Artists transform BGC walls into larger-than-life masterpieces

If you happen to be in Metro Manila and you find yourself in need of an art fix, head straight for Bonifacio Global City. Several murals have emerged across the cityscape, and people couldn't help but stare.

A few weeks ago, international artists FAILE, CYRCLE, AkaCORLEONE, Kristin Farr, Drew Merritt and Nate Frizzell, travelled to the Philippines to take part in the ArtBGC NextAct One Festival, a weeklong mural-centric event touted as the first of its kind in the country.

Curated by LeBasse Projects, and held in partnership with the Bonifacio Arts Foundation (BAFI) and Globe Telecom, the world-renowned artists were joined by local talents Egg Fiasco and Anjo Bolarda in painting larger-than-life masterpieces on iconic BGC walls. While the artists had different aesthetics, one common theme they worked on was urban living. Check out the murals below:

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable.

French supermarket promotes 'ugly' fruits and vegetables to reduce food waste

When was the last time you bought a weird-shaped fruit or veggie? A disfigured eggplant, a gnarled carrot, a hideous orange, or a deformed apple? You probably have a hard time remembering because growers usually throw out any misshapen produce, since grocery stores only want flawless (or almost flawless) crops. If there are lumps, bruises, or other deformities, retailers are likely to reject them. To raise awareness against food waste, Marcel Paris introduced a brilliant ad campaign called the Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables . The agency created these posters for Intermarche, France's third largest supermarket chain, to inform people that though these foods might by ugly, they are as good as any others.
