Jan Vormann’s work seems to be tapping into the zeitgeist as far as a few aesthetic leitmotifs I’ve been seeing in a lot of art online as of late: park benches / public seating as muse and invader style embedding of colorful objects (in this case what looks like lego) in otherwise grey streetscapes. I like the bench above which looks a bit like a fruit bowl and for me evokes the somewhat hostile and absurd anti-sit / antisleep designs popular for public seating in this neck of the woods (though I am fairly certain this was nowhere on the artist’s mind). It’s kind of a brilliant passive-aggressive approach to public spaces.

Bonus points for the mirror work too. Link
