Uncovering Animal Portraits within Subway Stations
In the realm of astronomy, a significant milestone has been achieved as astronomers have produced the first-ever near-infrared image of WOH G64, a dying red supergiant star located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, approximately 160,000 light-years away.
Meanwhile, in Bad Cannstatt, Germany, a unique artistic collaboration is captivating the hearts of locals and visitors alike. The "Art Brut Devizes" exhibition, on display in the Ebitzweg Underpass until September 20th, showcases a series of artworks that have transformed the bike path into a vibrant gallery.
The artworks, inspired by calendar pages featuring animal faces, have breathed new life into the 12.5-meter-long bike path in the Fellbacher district of Schmiden. The core artist behind this exhibition is Vivienne Barry, who works at "Art Brut Devizes."
The artistic process was a new experience for Marianne Märkle-Majewski, who was equally impressed by the dedication of the artists and the unique styles of their paintings. The artworks, touching due to their impressive brushstrokes and simple yet effective use of color and form, have been created by participants who were enthusiastic and proud of their creations.
In a striking contrast, WOH G64, the celestial counterpart of this artistic event, is a behemoth star nearing the end of its life. Its red supergiant status indicates it is in the final stages of stellar evolution, a spectacle that is both awe-inspiring and humbling for astronomers.
Dietmar Kazmaier, a local art enthusiast, has been moved by the display in Bad Cannstatt, praising the artists for their creativity and dedication. As the "Art Brut Devizes" exhibition continues to draw crowds, it serves as a testament to the power of art and the enduring allure of the cosmos.
