Spanish street artist Pejac transforms Tokyo walls and public sidewalks into political art
Spanish street artist Pejac has just finished an Asian tour, taking in Hong Kong and Seoul. His last stop was Tokyo, where he wrecked some creative anarchy on the streets.
He exploited local artistic tropes as well as socio-political themes to bring some sharp messages to local pedestrians on the sidewalks and streets of Japan.
Completed in 1660, Charles Le Brun’s painting of Everhard Jabach and His Family had seen better days. The 355-year-old family portrait was covered in a badly tinted varnish, had multiple superficial scratches and structural damage had split the painting nearly in half. This video documents the 10-month restoration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art lead by Michael Gallagher that involved retouching, structural work, re-varnishing, and numerous other conservation techniques to bring this giant painting back to life. The Met also documented the process in some 20+ blog posts over on their website. [Colossal]

Paola Bazz is a Manchester, UK based artist, born in Padua, Italy.
I studied painting and drawing in my formative years and completed my degree in Architecture at University IUAV in Venice. The use of recycled material, such as printed-paper, cardboard, wood and plastic characterizes much of my artistic productions and this is the central theme of my works. Our waste, anything that we throw away every day, is full of imaginary and it has an enormous appeal.
Recycling is a form of re-interpreting. Art is, in its essence, a recycling project.
The artist takes a set of materials and ideas, revisits them with reconsidered concepts, and repurposes them to create something new.Check out her profile at Saatchi Art
