Cracked Concrete Artwork

Alexey Menschikov Works with Broken Street Crevaces

— March 16, 2013 — Art & Design
Artist Alexey Menschikov has taken to the streets to produce his series of metropolitan pieces of work. He has deemed cracked concrete as his preferred medium in his series here as he superimposed various images on to the implicated streets.

Menschikov's experiments with concrete are of mass appeal for young children. Superimposed on to these cracks are his images of birds, Spongebob Square Pants, leaves and fines. As these pieces are quite playful, they add a great deal of character and color to the otherwise decrepit spots. And while the Russian-based designer focused on the ground in this series, he has also received a great deal of praise for his photography, distinguishing him as a man who wears many hats.
Trend Themes
1. Street Art Revival - The use of cracked concrete as a medium for street art opens up new opportunities for artists to create visually striking and interactive urban artworks.
2. Playful Public Spaces - The incorporation of playful and colorful imagery into cracked concrete transforms otherwise mundane spaces into engaging and vibrant areas that can attract and entertain people of all ages.
3. Multidisciplinary Artistry - Artists like Alexey Menschikov, who can seamlessly transition between photography and street art, demonstrate the potential for innovation and creativity across various artistic mediums.
Industry Implications
1. Urban Design - The integration of cracked concrete artwork into urban spaces presents opportunities for urban designers to incorporate engaging and visually appealing elements into their projects, revitalizing public areas.
2. Arts and Entertainment - The use of cracked concrete as a medium for street art introduces a unique and eye-catching form of artistic expression, attracting attention from art enthusiasts and galleries in the arts and entertainment industry.
3. Photography and Printmaking - The combination of photography with cracked concrete artwork showcases the potential for photographers and printmakers to experiment with unconventional mediums and create visually stunning and conceptually rich pieces.
