Big shouts to Flavorpill’s Flavorwire on this one. I’m a fan of street art. Mostly the general two-dimensional kind (graffiti, stickers, posters, etc). But when it comes to Mark Jenkins, we’re talking about a whole new stratosphere. Some of his sculptures are whimsical (like the one above, which is probably my favorite), while others are down right startling. As Flavorwire so eloquently describes it:
The streets of world cities aren’t just the backdrop for Mark Jenkins’ sculptural interventions; they’re also an integral part of the work itself. His clear-tape and more realistic mixed-media sculptures of animals, babies, and scraggly, Robert Gober-esque transients incorporate edifice walls, bent poles, and even garbage piles into site-specific subversions of the norm.
You can check out exactly what all this means if you visit Mark’s official site.
