If the artwork is on train tracks, is it still called street art? Rail art? Either way, we’re loving this series by Portuguese artist Artur Bordalo in which he cleverly converts the horizontal lines of train tracks into a canvas. The series, which have been popping up on railways throughout Portugal since early this year, often use bright, neon colors which create a nice contrast between the dull gray rocks and tracks. Each work is accompanied by subtle titles that can be playful but also harbor critical or cynical undertones.

Brooklyn-based artist Jason Peters' large-scale glowing light installations have attracted plenty of attention worldwide in the past few years.

The artist first began turning discarded materials into unexpected works of art after graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art and is renowned for his winding snake-like formations. Peters has this to say about his creative process: 

"By using large multiples of discarded items in repeating designs that establish unexpected patterns, societal cast offs are made beautiful through the alliteration of form."
