The Interventions of Benedetto Bufalino

Benedetto Bufalino's public installations subvert our notions of an object’s function, whether it’s converting an entire city bus into a pool or a telephone booth into an aquarium. Many of his recent projects have occupied spaces in his native France. Another recent work: The artist changed a red Fiat into a street food car. Find more of his creations below.

“By distorting or hijacking the objects that surround us, using design, art or architecture, Benedetto Bufalino offers a reflection—a game—on the functionality of our living environment,” Cité internationale des arts sats. “This living environment—the world itself—becomes for him a very personal art gallery, while his works remodel the usual landmarks of the passer-by.”

The photo-realistic works by British artist Juliette Losq (covered here) are like a portal to another world. Losq’s oil paintings and drawings on paper of forests are unique in her aggressive treatment of the medium. Her upcoming solo exhibition, “Nemora”, opening September 12th at the Fine Art Society Contemporary in London, focuses on this act of chaos in the wilderness. Her three new installations for the show are inspired by Rococo imagery and 18th-19th century Gothic architecture, visual styles influenced by faith, wealth and power.
