Agree, it is unusual when a man is engaged in knitting, it is still a traditionally female occupation. However, in our time, the time of equal opportunities, and men can take up knitting needles or a hook. If, of course, these are artists. That's about men's knitted work we will tell you today, namely, about the series Knit Credit Cardscreated by a Russian Dmitry Tsykalov.
The works of Dmitry Tsykalov have repeatedly appeared on the site Culturology. RF … For example, we have already talked about his fruit and berry sculptures, as well as weapons made of meat and organs made of wood. Now this Russian artist is engaged in knitting.
But he knits from woolen threads not winter socks, mittens, scarves and sweaters, but … bank cards. It would seem a strange occupation. However, we have seen much more extraordinary things in contemporary art.
Dmitry Tsykalov uses yarn to create credit cards for banks in different countries: China, the United States of America, India, Arab states and some others. The series that these works compose is called directly and unpretentiously Knit Credit Cards.
Moreover, visually, the work seems unfinished - their lower edge is not tied, threads stick out from it, going to the balls that are lying on the floor. This is precisely the idea behind the Knit Credit Cards series. Thus, Dmitry Tsykalov wants to show the disappearing power of credit cards, which until recently were a symbol of stability in the financial market, and now are gradually losing their importance (partly due to the World financial crisis, partly due to the global transition to Internet banking).

Constructions made of playing cards are so fragile and unreliable that the catch phrase "crumbled like a house of cards" has long been used when it is necessary to point out the fragility of any ideas, hopes and expectations.
