A German artist, who goes by the name of “Evol”, has taken his work to the streets by creating miniature buildings out of the unlikeliest mediums.

Using a layered stencil technique, Evol transforms unnoticed objects like letterboxes, concrete blocks and electrical boxes into miniature buildings.

Evol’s works produce such a realistic effect that it’s sometimes hard to tell if it’s a painting to begin with.

    Luv it :) I adore when artist find new and inventive ways of using everyday objects too create something new. This is pretty cool. It’s like a kid playing with a doll house. ie me playing with my doll house and the house seeming bigger but then the stages of life took affect and the house got smaller and smaller. It’s like the world it can seem so big but it can make us feel so small at times. Almost suffocating and alone. Because in a world full of millions we can still feel alone. Which then leads too being around loads of ppl but still feel lonely. But it takes one person in a room too make you feel like there are thousands as one person can have that affect. I luv this feeling the most. Altho by myself I talk too myself lol total deep convo. Sometimes they don’t have too be in the room to make you feel their there :)

    artists like Evol must travel and paint all the dull white/grey surfaces all around the world – to make it a better place!

    I think it’s absolutely exquisite and a perfect example of urban art, almost in comparison with street art and yet dimensional. The smaller scale is dynamic and intricate, the use of shading, divine.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, indeed.

    Depends on who’s asking
    I love the idea of art in the street, the workmanship is amazing. They look so real, hard to believe they arent. And that’s the trouble. For me, to appreciate them. You wouldn’t understand, it’s about coming from one of the ex-socialistic countries. I see too many of these around. It’ s not just that they are eyesores. I looked at these pics and imgination kicked in, adding a few tanks, a check point, barbed wire and some people-citizens-skulking, frightened, wanting to hide in the false security of the concrete bunkers. You see the blockc of flats like these everywhere- Berlin, Warsaw, Moscow. Legacy of the system hellbent on destroying everything that was individual, independent, bright, beautiful, intelligent, happy. Times when everything was uniformely drab, grey, oppressing and half-dead. These blocks of flats to me are reminders of that whole unhappy era. Cant like them;

    most to me speaks out words: my new job

  • today is spring 2009

    He wore a black shirt, his eyes were full of tears, and his name was Benjamin
    There weren’t such a places, where he didn’t want to be
    He cried with the rain and the night, when he was looking for his stars, he was always asking the same thing:
    When and where is this road going to end?

    Where’s my home, home, home…

  • jolievie

    That’s amazing the perspective messes with your head ,being near them would make you feel like Godzilla .Some people have amazing imaginations to even look at concrete blocks and see a way to make Art and social commentary out of them.

  • Trish Toyota

    Aw..these little people have a BIG graffiti problem. Where did I park my car?

  • Tadpole430

    Condos for sale. Never seen so many unoccupied homes. I’d steer away from the third property though. Looks like a tough neighborhood. Great imagination!

  • cherrylee1

    I think it is from Street Art Utopia, I have just seen it at FB. The worst is, there are a lot of this houses in Russia, Germany, East Europe, and everywhere and people must live in it because they have not enough money to move out.
    So I could not understand that you told Russian girls they should get a job,because they told you the tickets were too expensive for them.
    In Russia there is a extremene income inequality in Russian society, and a very low income levels.Thus the average monthly income in Russia in 2010 amounted to about 500 Euro.( Bundeszentrale für pol. Bildung, Germany)

      he’s a classist, looks down on people with no money or
      ‘position’ in society. He values the superficial show and his
      own ego being boosted the most. The kind of person I despise
      the most. A snob.

      • cherrylee1

        When I saw the video, I was disappointed, because I thought, when he gives a concert in a foreign country, he knows at least, which conditions prevails in this country. There are no jobs, or not enough. But I would never say, he is a snob, or he looks down on other persons.I would just wish that he would inform himself better next time.

        • Luna

          yes, you are much nicer and more tactful than me…I like that about you……

  • pomme

    that is so F-ING awesome!!! I love architecture, especially modernist concrete forms, this is super :-) such an under appreciated form of housing, often misunderstood and has lost its way.

    • Ari

      Hello.

      You feel the very opposite to me. Except that I also love to see all forms of architecture.

      And perhaps you have the intellectual appreciation here. And not the experience of poverty to override this. Because this place I associate with poverty, and lack of choice. And with intimidation and violence.

      And the people who live here. I do not think they can afford the modernist furniture. It simply depresses my soul, to look at it. It speaks to me of concrete cancer, and hopelessness. And of depression, and suicide.

      But if you can show me. How better to understand it. I would like that.

      And your name; I do like your name :)
