Going, Going…Gone, Stuart Cilpston

In the works of art, ice cream is a kind of healing existence, which is not only a visual enjoyment for the taste buds. The following "ice creams" in the art circle are also lurking all over the city. Which one hits your heart?

Ice cream dropped by giants?

Dropped Cone, Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen

This huge ice cream cone on the roof of the Cologne shopping mall in Germany is a unique sight in the city, like ice cream dropped by a giant.

This whimsical art installation also became part of the building. In this city skyline, which is mainly composed of church roofs, it has become a bright presence.

Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen

The installation is a collaboration between art world couple Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.

Claes Oldenburg was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1929 and graduated from Yale University with a degree in Literature and Art History. In the 1960s, Oldenburg became a reference figure in Pop Art. In 1977 he married the sculptor and art historian Kusje van Brugen. Many of Oldenburg's large art projects were done with his wife.

Spring Cones made by florists

Photographer Parker Fitzgerald previously teamed up with floral designer Amy Merrick to combine ice cream with bouquets to show life blooming on a sunny spring day.

Using clean backgrounds and pastel colors, Fitzgerald's entire photographic series represents the end of winter and the revival of all things in the new season.

The model held the cone in front of the camera, making it a unique accessory. The ice cream melted with the petals, confounding: "Is this edible?" Fitzgerald said of the "weird and perfect" collaboration with Merrick.

Street "Mosaic Ice Cream"

Treats in the Streets, Jim Bachor

Graphic designer and street artist Jim Bachor has created a retro "mosaic ice cream" on the street.

In fact, Buck covered the potholes on the road with mosaic floor tiles, which turned them into mosaic art.

This isn't the artist's first pothole work. Since 2013, Barker has been trying to fill in the "holes" in the infrastructure by laying mosaic floor tiles with urban characteristics in Chicago.

In addition to ice cream motifs, Buck has experimented with themes such as flowers and everyday objects. This street mosaic art stems from the artist's fascination with the ancient world. Barker believed that marble and glass never fade. An ancient work of mosaic art gives a sense of the creator's intentions, even if it is more than two thousand years old. Barker was fascinated by the staying power of mosaic art.

Works by Othman Toma

The artist Osman Toma from Baghdad, Iraq is considered a god-level figure in the ice cream industry. Usually good at watercolor painting and pencil drawing, he actually used real ice cream as paint, and skillfully assembled various ice creams to form "pigments" of different colors.

Toma'ice cream work covers a range of portraits, animals, architecture and more. Whether it's a swirl popsicle or a chocolate cone, he makes the most of every color and makes the ice cream itself part of the work.
