Underbridge Homeless Jesus


This remarkable piece of work was crafted by two Polish badasses – painter and street artist Daniel Kalinski aka Chazme, and sculptor Tomasz Górnicki. Installed under a bridge in Warsaw, Underbridge Homeless Jesus was positioned in such a way that it becomes illuminated by natural light coming from above.

The use of simple materials is quite unusual for the depiction of Christ's figure, a subject usually crafted in luxurious metals, like bronze and gold. The sculpture also poses a challenge to its viewers. Does its simplicity change the way we now see the image? Can we still regard him as the Son of God?

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. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
