Imagine a broken raw egg, inside which is not the yolk, but another, but only whole, egg. Or how you in the morning, taking out your toothbrush, suddenly find that it is not bristles, but teeth! These are exactly the techniques he uses in his hyperrealistic creativity artist Nancy Fouts.
On the site Kulturologiya. RF, from time to time we would tell readers about the work of various hyperrealists. Examples include the work of Tjalf Sparnaay, Alexander Ivanov or Carole Feuerman. But the American artist and sculptor Nancy Fouts, who lives in London, came up with the idea to combine hyperrealism with surrealism.
Nancy Fouts takes seemingly completely ordinary items, such as a badminton shuttlecock, wallet, table clock, sewing machine, balloon, pear, etc. and turns them into something totally amazing! For example, she turns a shuttlecock into an egg, a wallet into a toothy mouth, a sewing machine into a turntable, a balloon into a cactus, and a pear into a balloon.
Nancy rummages through the drawers of the table and closet in her apartment, finding some things there, combining them with each other, giving them new meaning and function. “It all starts with an idea, and it is this idea that drives the implementation of the project,” explains the American-British artist.
When asked if she uses Photoshop or any other means of image processing, Nancy Fouts states: “As a true artist, I hate Photoshop! These are real-life sculptures!"
Fouts explains the conceptual basis of his works: "My sculptures do not carry any deep meaning, they are created only so that people, looking at them, smile!"
