Artist Alex Biagi refuses to let a disease that nearly robbed him of the use of his limbs prevent him from giving back to his community. Biagi, 38, earned Reddit’s adoration February 16 after he shared a photo of him painting a fox for an event benefiting the animal shelter Life Is Better Rescue in Denver, Colorado. What struck a chord with redditors on r/pics was the sight of Biagi painting with a brush in his mouth.

When Dan Robbins passed away last week at the age of 93, many people paused to remember a man who made painting fun for the masses.

Chooo-San is a Japanese artist who created incredible realistic body art using acrylic paints.    Here are a few samples.

A major investigation into whether art hanging in Dutch museums may have been Nazi loot has yielded an unexpectedly large result: 139 suspect works, including ones by masters like Matisse, Klee and Kandinsky.

For at least 10 minutes Christie’s overflowing salesroom watched in rapt attention as a 1969 triptych by Francis Bacon sold for $142.4 million, described as the highest price ever paid for an artwork at auction.

Just last week, they came spectacularly to a head, with the revelation that Cornelius, the 79-year-old son of Hildebrand Gurlitt, has been found to have been hoarding 1,401 artworks worth an estimated £1 billion at his home in Munich.

Outside Raven, a vegan eatery in Madrid, these exceptional creatives used yellow tape, painted décor items, pineapples and a lamp to create the appearance of an illuminated property that covers both vertical and horizontal surfaces. Reminiscent of Van Gogh’s famous Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, at Night, the installation calls to mind the current trend for the flat aesthetic.

The story of a labor-of-love masterpiece that lay dormant for nearly half a century.

Very important people line up differently from you and me. They don’t want to stand behind anyone else, or to acknowledge wanting something that can’t immediately be had. If there’s a door they’re eager to pass through, and hundreds of equally or even more important people are there, too, they get as close to the door as they can, claim a patch of available space as though it had been reserved for them, and maintain enough distance to pretend that they are not in a line.

David Hockney and others have speculated—controversially—that a camera obscura could have helped the Dutch painter Vermeer achieve his photo-realistic effects in the 1600s. But no one understood exactly how such a device might actually have been used to paint masterpieces. An inventor in Texas—the subject of a new documentary by the magicians Penn & Teller—may have solved the riddle.

The painting of a woman and boy bowing their heads in prayer set a sales record for Rockwell's art.

Without a doubt, black-velvet painting lives up to its reputation as the pinnacle of tackiness. You could point to any number of cheap, poorly done images of Elvis, scary clowns, matadors, “Playboy” nudes, and strange unicorns sold to American tourists by Mexican painters starting in the ’50s. But when velvet collectors Caren Anderson and Carl Baldwin look at these pieces, they see something else.

An aerosol painting by the anonymous British street artist Banksy was just sold for $209,000 at auction in the largest yet US auction of his work. Called “Flower Girl,” it was only on the market because an enterprising (and also anonymous) gas station owner had the section of brick wall it was stenciled on removed entirely.

The Japanese-based design studio Nendo is the visionary behind this amazing edible art, which was designed as a limited edition item for the Seibu Department store in Japan. The set of 12 chocolates is shaped to look like beautiful tubes of oil paint packaged in a sleek brown gift box. Each tube contains a different flavor syrup, from fruity melon and blueberry to sweet honey and vanilla, that’s meant to match the vivid color on each piece’s wrapper (the only part that isn’t edible).
