With this installation she dubs Causa-Efecto (Cause and Effect), Spanish artist Ana Soler makes us feel like we're living in The Matrix. Featuring 2,000 tennis balls frozen in mid-air, the installation gives off the illusion that the balls are bouncing of the walls, floors and ceiling of the Mustang Art Gallery in Alicante, Spain. One has to wonder how much time and thought went into…
It may take you a second to see it, but once you do, this piece by Sr. X will make you laugh out loud. The Spanish street artist plays a little practical joke on his fellow countrymen, making it appear as though a big crocodile is crawling back into the sewer. I'd love to see the reaction on people's faces as they pass by and catch a glimpse of it.…

One of our favorite urban interventionists, sPy, opened his debut solo show last week in his home country of Spain. In Urbana, sPy features a collection of photographs chronicling his most recent works in New York City and Europe.
Street artist Kapo created this fierce looking shark on a subway entrance in Madrid, Spain. Love how the 3D effect makes it look like the beast is coming out of water.
Edit: The subway entrance is some sort of ventilation and the artist is e1000ink.
Cowabunga, Dude! From January 16th to March 21st, herds of vibrantly designed fibreglass cows of CowParade will be grazing the streets of Madrid. The concept of CowParade started out in Switzerland in 1998, by renowned artistic director Walter Knapp, who had the innovative idea to hold an international exhibition of public art to raise money for charity. Since then,… Continue
