    Is that considered legal? If someone makes a graffiti is illegal in most places. Would the police stop him ?

      They’ll stop anything out of the ordinary.

    I think it looks so cool when things are repaired in a different style like this

    This is cool, but also makes me feeling like we poured asphalt over a masterpiece.

      Like we built on-top of an ancient civilization

        Exactly! Makes me think of things I have heard and read about historical sites getting worn down by visitors or people finding artifacts while digging in their garden.

      I mean we paved over cities to make room for cars, so not wrong

        We didn’t really though. Even the Romans built roads, we’ve always needed a way to move food and goods.

    An artist in Rouen, France also filled the stone courthouse’s WWII shelling holes with Lego’s.

    Until the weather becomes slightly warmer or colder or something drives over it.

      Art doesn’t have to be perfect or permanent though

      Even if the artwork starts to crack, that sounds better than just sitting there being a pothole.

      Or untill it rains and people slip and fall

    There is probably not an easy way to do that on the spot. Do you think the artist traces out the dimensions and then makes the piece at home and brings it back?

      No they just pour in the mortar and then put the pieces in. The ones that do pictures like a cat or a bird or something premake the picture part and then fill in the pattern surrounding the picture afterwards. This particular french artist does it anonymously in the middle of the night.

      Here in the UK people spray paint giant dicks on the floor around the potholes. A slightly alternative way of annoying the council into taking action.
