Not in the sense in parentheses that it would be a stretch to call it art. Although some may have such an impression. And in the sense that this author makes his paintings-installations using not paints, pencils, felt-tip pens or other art supplies. The usual office stationery is enough for him, namely, staples for a stapler.
The author of these extraordinary installation paintings is called Rob O'Brien, and what he does is called Staple Art. Once we have already written about another representative of this creativity, the artist Baptiste Debombourg, who does not lay out his paintings in brackets, like cubes, namely, that he draws images with them on walls and ceilings. Rob O'Brien's paintings are more like pixel art.
So far, the author has created few paintings in this style: two portraits, a street view from above and one very controversial work called "Drops". Whether Rob O'Brien will succeed as a master of Staple Art is a moot point. In any case, all of his work can be seen on the Robobriendesign website.
