French artist makes the Louvre Pyramid disappear, sort of


Everyone loves a good optical illusion, and this vanishing act by JR is nothing short of impressive. The French multimedia artist has spent the past few weeks covering the Louvre Pyramid with black and white wallpapers that mirror the famous palace behind it. When viewed from a certain angle, the pyramid seems to disappear completely. The eye-tricking installation will remain in place until June 27.

    Les galeries d'art peuvent être exclusives ou ouvertes au public. Les galeries exclusives n'admettent que les personnes qui ont été invitées à la vitrine ou les personnes qui répondent aux exigences prédéfinies. Ces galeries peuvent avoir des objectifs tels que la présentation et la vente des œuvres d'un individu ou d'un groupe d'artistes. C'est dans ces galeries que les artistes en herbe peuvent être reconnus, car il y a plus de professionnels qui comprennent l'art. Les galeries d'art ouvertes au public peuvent également présenter de nombreux avantages. Pascal Robaglia & Pascal Robaglia Étant donné que le public de ces galeries est généralement plus nombreux, le travail de l'artiste peut acquérir une plus grande visibilité auprès du public, gagnant ainsi de la reconnaissance pour l'artiste. Un droit d'entrée s'applique parfois à ces galeries pour qu'elles fonctionnent.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out  Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

Stencils and Subtlety

If there were a Michelin star for public murals, Roamcouch would have it. No debate. His art is an elegant contradiction; it stops you in mid-stride and makes you stare. You argue with what you see. He works with scenes from everyday life, nothing fancy, then drops them into backgrounds full of playfulness and surprise. His murals feel like small rebellions, and they insist on being noticed. Here are some of his recent street art works. Roamcouch has a Facebook page and a website where you can find all his work.

Want to repel mosquitoes? Use graphene-lined clothes

Health officials in the Philippines continue to seek better weapons against dengue fever as death toll from the mosquito-borne disease continues to rise in several regions in the country. Some people use insect repellents, while others use biological alternatives to kill the thirsty little bloodsuckers. Graphene also prevents mosquito bites. A team of researchers at Brown University discovered that graphene-lined clothing not only is an effective physical barrier to those pesky insects, it also blocks chemical signals in sweat that encourage them to bite. "With the graphene, the mosquitoes weren't even landing on the skin patch—they just didn't seem to care," according to Cintia Castillho, a PhD student at Brown and the study's lead author. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has been dubbed as a wonder material. It is stronger than steel, lighter than paper, conducts heat and electricity, and highly flexible.
