This year, artists who don't play with garbage are embarrassed to call themselves artists, because there are really too many artists who are keen to turn garbage into works of art. Xiao Dai can't remember how many artists have turned waste into treasure with you during this time, and they have used their profession and sense of responsibility for environmental issues to create many wonderful and thought-provoking works of art.
Today, Xiao Dai still wants to introduce you to a cattle man who uses waste to create sculptures, Jordan Springer, a self-taught artist from Australia, who is a grassroots artist, whose parents are down-to-earth farmers, who have come out of hardship since childhood, and are very frugal.
When he first began to create sculptures, he often picked up scraps on the street and assembled them into sculptures because he wanted to reduce costs as much as possible. When Jordan Spreege began to gain some fame and earned a lot of money, he still had a habit of picking up garbage. However, it is no longer to save money, but to take this kind of creator as his own style, on the other hand, he hopes to make a little contribution to the cause of environmental protection through his own efforts.
Jordan Springer's sculptures are mostly made of scrap metal, and old machine parts, abandoned agricultural tools, farm scraps, etc., are fused by the artist into lifelike animal sculptures, which are restored one-to-one and have a sense of reality. Exquisite details, and meticulous craftsmanship, make these "steel beasts" with amazing majesty, majestic posture, mechanical punk sense.
Although the materials are cheap, it is not easy to create such a sculpture, for example, Jordan Spreegger made a giant eagle sculpture, which took a total of 260 hours, and the eagle's wings were nearly 2.5 meters, and it was cut by about 1,000 feathers. This sculpture exhibits a soaring posture, and if you look closely, you will definitely be shocked by it.
Each of the sculpture's works is crafted, with rusty scrap metal intricately arranged throughout the sculpture, giving them a sense of power. We often say, three hundred and sixty lines, and the line goes out of shape. The same is true for artists, who will definitely gain something by doing it to the extreme.
Next, let's enjoy the wonderful sculptures created by this "grassroots" artist.
