Animal Sculptures Made of Ocean Debris by Gilles Cenazandotti

Ryan Nance March 14, 2014

Artist Gilles Cenazandotti collects plastic debris washed ashore and creates a bestiary of recycled waste animals.

Cenazandotti:

"Impressed by everything that the Sea, in turn, rejects and transforms, on the beaches I harvest the products derived from petroleum and its industry. The choice of animals that are part of the endangered species completes this process. In covering these animals with a new skin harvested from the banks of the Sea, I hope to draw attention to this possible metamorphosis - to create a trompe l'oeil of a modified reality."

Sculptures of Staples into Organic Forms

Ryan Nance July 31, 2013

Artist Jerry Bleem uses found materials and thousands and thousands of staples which give them organic looking forms structure and hold them together.

"Ordinary, non-precious, discarded materials are what I most often use in my work. Botanic forms and the human body have strongly influenced my work. I also draw upon humanity's long history of making containers for both practical and symbolic purposes."

Found Objects Find A Voice in this Urban Art by R1

Ryan Nance June 13, 2013

Johannesburg-based street artist R1 creates beauty using found materials: tape, cans, plastic. 

R1 says:

"My installations subtly changes the city streets to create a dialogue and interactions between the environment and our experience of it. The artworks take ownership and manipulate city spaces, opening new relationships with daily familiarity. The end result carries conversations, becoming a fragment of the ever changing city’s history."
