For someone rubbish - this is just a pile of unnecessary things that need to be thrown away and forgotten forever, but for a Brazilian artist Vik Muniz waste is a real gold mine in which he finds materials for his own work. Brazilian Vic Muniz is well known for his skill in transforming various materials into amazing artwork full of detail and realism. He is especially successful in works made from garbage - thanks to them, his work became known to the whole world.
A new series of works by Vika Munis is also dedicated to garbage, specifically, scrap metal. From it, the artist created an image of various animals that look like they were created from gold, silver and other noble metals.
According to Vic Munis, you can find a huge number of useful things in landfills, including a lot of metal, sometimes even non-ferrous. The latter material has been collected very actively by this Brazilian artist lately in order to eventually create the Scrap Metal series.
Vick Muniz's Scrap Metal series is a series of images of animals, fish and birds, each measuring about one meter. At the same time, the ignorant viewer will not understand at all what exactly these unusual works of fine art are made of.
Works from the Scrap Metal series by Vic Munis are currently on display in New York as part of the Armory Show contemporary art exhibition.
