Since each person is the blacksmith of his own happiness, he is able to "reforge" his own weaknesses in particular, and especially to develop and improve so that later he can be rightfully proud of them. Thus, a Japanese artist known by the pseudonym Macaon, loves to drink beer from aluminum cans, and he does it very often and with great pleasure. And then he turns these jars into amazing ones sculptures, with whom we will get acquainted today. Jar sculptures are not a new idea, but they are still interesting and alive. So, we already know the recognized masters of this art, for example Sandy Sanderson and his collection of "can" cars. However, the work for which Macaon is famous is unlike any of the art projects we've seen before.
The sculptor literally reshapes the jars, turning them into layers of thin and flexible metal, and then cuts, glues, bonds and folds this "canvas" into details of future sculptures. Each new work of the author turns out to be more interesting than the previous one, because he constantly brings something new to the creative process. So there are sculptures with moving limbs, almost real transforming transformers, motorcycles and bicycles with spinning wheels and similar miniatures from jars. Animals, birds, heroes of films, cartoons and computer games, cars and tanks, decorations and even paintings - the Macaon sculptor can reproduce almost everything from aluminum, which used to be a can of a drink.
The collection of unusual sculptures made of aluminum beer cans is vast and varied. All of this can be seen on the Macaon sculptor's website.
