    New Collection by Yellowpop x André Saraiva

    by

    Yellowpop, a home decor brand specializing in LED neon signs and known for its exclusive artist collaborations, reunites with André Saraiva to launch a collection of five bright new pieces featuring never-before-seen formats such as a Lightbox and a Mirror sculpture.André Saraiva is an artist known for his graffiti work, which helped shape the visual language of street art in the 1990s.His style merges illustration and identity, centered around his iconic character Mr. A—a smiling, top-hatted figure that appears on walls and in cities around the world. In collaboration with Yellowpop, he brings Mr. A into a new dimension, translating his signature symbols into glowing neon works.Pink appears in each piece—one of the artist’s favorite colors. André finds it “very friendly” and explains:“It will always match, and it will even be a good matchmaker between two colors that are a bit opposite when they are next to each other. So the pink makes everything harmonious.”Yellowpop took a creative leap by going beyond their usual neon signs, bringing to life André’s concept of the mirror. The artist shared:“I like to think about something that you can hold, and these are elements that you can find in some of my sculptures that you have here—where you have doors—and so it’s all like the structure slash mirror slash circus slash neon slash nightclub.”The André x Yellowpop collection will be available in very limited quantities, with 24-hour early access on June 4 for those who sign up.Produced in limited quantities, this is a unique opportunity for fans and collectors to own one of these exclusive pieces. Visit www.yellowpop.com and follow Yellowpop on Instagram for early access, updates, and to shop the collection before it sells out.About YellowpopYellowpop is a home decor brand on a mission to change the way we decorate our spaces.By partnering with globally recognized artists, Yellowpop transforms iconic artworks into vibrant neon designs that inspire creativity and joy.

      Banksy’s New Piece in Marseille Becomes a Tribute to Memory and Loss

      by

      On a quiet wall in Marseille, Banksy has once again transformed urban space into a mirror of human emotion. This time, the message hits closer to the heart. On Rue Félix Frégier, a freshly stenciled black lighthouse now rises from a beige wall, accompanied by the words:“I want to be what you saw in me.”It’s unclear whether the piece is a universal reflection or a deeply personal statement, but for those of us who’ve followed Banksy’s work for decades, this one carries the unmistakable weight of loss. Word has spread that this piece is linked to the memory of an old friend of the artist, someone who passed away recently. If true, it adds another layer of meaning to an already haunting intervention.At first glance, the lighthouse stands alone, quiet and symbolic. But step back and the composition reveals its brilliance. It’s a trick of shadow. The bollard in front of the wall casts a real shadow and Banksy has extended it into illusion. The lighthouse is not a structure, but a shadow, rising from something mundane. It’s not there, and yet it is. Just like the memory of someone who once saw the best in you.This makes the accompanying text all the more poignant.Not “I am what you saw in me,” but“I want to be.”It’s a promise. A regret. A longing.📍 Why Marseille?Marseille has always been a city of in-betweens. A place where ships dock, where people arrive and leave. A city steeped in movement and memory. There’s no more fitting location for a tribute like this where a bollard, a wall, and a shadow become a lighthouse not just in form, but in spirit.✅ Verified LocationThe work was revealed Thursday on Banksy’s official Instagram. Though its exact location was initially a mystery, it sits quietly on Rue Félix Frégier in Marseille. No barriers. No plaques. Just raw emotion, open to the street.As someone who’s seen thousands of interventions on walls around the world, I can say with certainty. This isn’t a mural for attention. It’s a piece of mourning. A whispered tribute. A lighthouse for someone who once saw the light in him and maybe in all of us. More

      “ORB” by SpY in Montreal, Canada, After Its Debut in Egypt

      by

      SpY’s stunning “ORB” sculpture, which first captivated audiences at the Pyramids of Giza, has found a new home in Montreal’s Place des Arts. This work, blending formal simplicity with deep symbolism, explores the relationship between art, history, and urban space. The transition from the ancient Egyptian site to a modern cultural hub emphasizes its universal appeal, allowing it to engage with diverse environments and audiences.At the heart of “ORB” is the reimagining of a common urban object—the convex traffic mirror. By multiplying and arranging these mirrors into a spherical pattern, SpY transforms a mundane feature of city life into a thought-provoking work of art. The mirrored surface reflects its surroundings and viewers, creating an ever-changing interaction that evolves throughout the day, prompting contemplation on how art influences and is influenced by urban spaces.Drawing inspiration from Egyptian history, “ORB” references the mathematical and symbolic elements found in the Pyramids. The spherical form hints at the relationship between the Pyramid’s geometry and the concept of ‘pi,’ tying the sculpture to ancient mathematical principles. This connection extends to the circular mirror, a symbol in Egyptian culture linked to the sun, creation, and rebirth.The installation in Montreal highlights the sculpture’s ability to resonate in different contexts, reinforcing its status as a universal artistic symbol. Its reflective surface captures fragments of the city and its inhabitants, inviting viewers to engage in a deeper reflection on their connection to the environment and each other.“ORB” was part of the exhibition Forever Is Now II, organized by Culturvator Art D’Égypte in collaboration with UNESCO. The exhibition juxtaposes ancient heritage with contemporary art, exploring themes that transcend time and encourage us to imagine the future of humanity.Check out more photos of “ORB” in Montreal, Canada, and Egypt below!
