Artist Mends Cracked Sidewalks, Potholes, And Buildings Using Vibrant Mosaics (30 New Pics)
Ememem’s artwork brings new life to everyday spaces by transforming damaged urban surfaces into beautiful, artistic mosaics. His unique technique, known as "flacking," blends street art with themes of repair and renewal. These artistic interventions challenge the way we perceive public spaces, inviting viewers to reflect on the beauty in the ordinary and the power of repair.
Through vibrant colors and intricate patterns, Ememem's work encourages us to see urban environments not as eyesores, but as opportunities for creativity and renewal. His art offers a refreshing perspective on how art can reshape the world around us.

Fabulous - thank you, BP for showing us someone making the world a more beautiful place. Only, that work must cost money - how does the artist get it paid for?
Lovely but I can see these really messing with the heads of future archaeologists and art historians who will be amazed and write learned treatises about how colorful our cities once were before some great unknown catastrophe engulfed them in concrete and asphalt.😀
I love the look of them, and applaud the dedication and skill. However, I need to know whether the artist uses non-slip tiles for the designs on the ground. If he is using ordinary tiles, when they get wet they will be a seriously slipping hazard.
A very minor slipping hazard, probably less than posed by conventional steel manhole covers (etc). And by filling in damaged patches, the artist is removing a serious trip hazard. Why not complain about wet leaves in the autumn? They're far more widespread.

Pedestrians might slip, but there are always hazards and at least these are easily seen and avoided. Overall the works of art are a great improvement both physically as well as aesthetically
