Art of garbage



9. RICHARD SHOW
Warren, Walter, William
1981

Modern works of art are made almost of everything. For example, Richard Show`s sculpture entitled "Warren, Walter, William" (picture above) is made of "civilization refuse" like: a can, an old boot, broken cups, empty bottle of wine, pieces of wood and of broken furniture.

Such "materials" (in fact - garbage) and used items are often used by other artists like: Wladyslaw Hasior, Cesar, Arman, John Chemberlain (picture below) and many other.

It`s undoubtedly source of inspiration and - by the way it informs us of how interesting we can use garbage that litter our planet. You can treat it as a challenge: "I can also be an artist, moreover - ecological artist". We encourage you to create this kind of sculptures (for instance during art classes or after "Cleaning up the world" action). You can make them of cans, paper, twigs, rags, wires, paper boxes, leaky pots, broken jugs, etc. Don`t you think that exhibition made of this freaky ecological sculptures could be fascinating? If you make this kind of "sculpture" take a photo and send it to us. Necessarily! As we want to establish at this page special GALLERY presenting these works. Have a try - it costs nothing while the final result can be incredible!
