This is the work of Australian artist Poppy Van Oord - Grainger, she paints tiny pieces on pavements that respond to the surroundings. These beautiful pieces are so tiny they could easily be missed, but as people often walk with their heads down it might just catch the glimpse of a random passerby. It is interesting to consider ownership, obviously they can’t be bought, and they are rejecting the gallery and high art, driven by the notion of “art for all”, for anyone who cares to notice. Could it be a gift? Who for? And do they even want it?
