Things You’d Never Imagine From Beer Cans, Gloves and Chairs

Junk art can be the most beautiful of all.

And turning everyday found objects into art is Paul Villinski’s specialty. I first wrote about his work and artist’s statement over at Tree Hugging Family, but I didn’t show his art there. Now that I have Paul’s permission, here goes with the art showing.

All of this New York artist’s work is amazing, but my personal favorites as examples of junk art are the beer can butterflies. You owe it to yourself to click through them all. These butterflies were made from crushed beer cans found on the streets of New York. Could you have seen this in a crushed can in the street? It’s a metal metamorphosis.

Paradigm

Does anything look familiar about this dress? Yes, it’s a size 6, but it’s also made of found gloves.

Cinderella

For his shadow drawing, Paul used small templates made from found beer cans.

Wish II

Have you ever thought about drawing on canvas work gloves?

Nature Studies

I’m going to close with a fascinating flying machine with a found wheelchair, but please visit Paul Villinski to see and learn more.
