Artist Mends Cracked Sidewalks, Potholes And Buildings Using Vibrant Mosaics, And Here Are His Best 30 Works
Ememem is an inventive artist who fills potholes in his home city Lyon, France with beautiful mosaics to brighten the days of anyone who spots them during the day. The street artist decided to draw people’s attention to the deplorable condition of roads and sidewalk safety in France. You could say Ememem is set on a mission: patching up his city’s broken pavement by filling potholes with colorful works of art—mosaics that turn eyesores and traffic hazards into things of beauty.
By creating colorful tiled mosaics in the potholes riddling the streets of Lyon, Ememem has become the latest artist to offer his take on this public nuisance. Thanks to his efforts for the last 10 years, some of Lyon’s sidewalks and splintered facades are now filled with colorful mosaics that are both creative and unique.

Beautiful! Good thing you're not here in Saginaw, MI.... You'd be fined for vandalizing, damages to city property & maybe even SUED for not being an employee of the road crews.
Like the pattern and the matte finished tiles... less chance of slipping.
The comparison of this small bit of beauty and the hideous tagging on the walls in the distance is dramatic.
This is probably the most interesting street are being done right now. I love it.
