You need just a little imagination, a spray, an old, grey and neglected object&#8230; and the city becomes colourful, funnier and more beautiful.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Lots of street artists express their creativity in the most popular and chaotic towns, where traffic, hurry and worries make often forget people of their sunny and childish side. These\u00a0lively and unexpected drawings have the power to evoke it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tom Bob<\/b>\u00a0uses the street art to transform the roads of <strong>New York<\/strong>, making it become more colourful and funnier. Thanks to artists like him, also the most unknown and forgot corners of the city can turn into something special, capable of making people smile and come back to childhood, even if just for a while. Thanks to these little things we can understand how anything can be re-evaluated and transformed into an attraction, if only it could be seen with another pair of glasses.<\/p>\n<p>Imagination can do anything: it can also turn a sad, ordinary and insignificant object into nice crabs, birds, flowers and so on! Barrels, old benches, tubes&#8230; you will see something special in things that you did not even notice before. An art that can be seen also as a metaphor to make us open our eyes and try to look at our surroundings under another point of view. Appreciate what you have and the territory where you live and if you do not like what\u00a0you see or it is not satisfying for you, then change perspective, use your imagination, be open-minded and the result will be incredible! Just like the objects transformed by Tom Bob.<\/p>\n<p>You can see his creativity and originality also in other cities like Boston, New Bedford and\u00a0Massachusetts, but you can always follow him on Instagram, where he shares his works of art with the whole world.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XIHxuSUq570\" width=\"840\" height=\"490\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Street art\u00a0around the world<\/h2>\n<p>Artists from all over the world like to surprise\u00a0passers-by with unique and lively works of art.
