Many, many bottle caps, spoons of the same shape and structure, multi-colored bowling balls - this is all that South Korean artist Eung Ho Park needs to create his paintings and sculptures and build installations that seem simple at first sight.
Eung Ho Park is a very laborious and lengthy process that begins with the selection and collection of the required number of common everyday items. The artist believes that all produced goods represent and store ideas and elements of culture. From the usual huge heap of identical things, whether spoons, or little toy soldiers, or even pillows, grow the most unexpected installations that reflect modern life and tell about humanity.
Eung Ho Park, for example, painted the inside of a huge number of lids, grouping the same color "eyes". The installation takes up almost an entire wall and creates the effect of contemplation, as if many pairs of eyes are looking at you at the same time. This work of art also has a corresponding title "I am looking at you."
Critic Helen A. Harrison, referring to the work of artist Eung Ho Park, says that they have meaning, they are not an empty set of objects. They combine the natural properties of materials and the associations that have arisen, while creating new objects with a new form and meaning. Eung Ho Park's installations and sculptures are featured in many museums and art galleries in New York and Los Angeles. They were featured in such well-known publications as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Baltimore Sun, The Boston Globe and other magazines and newspapers.

But despite this, in terms of the originality of engineering solutions, ancient objects are in no way inferior to modern ones

The other side of ordinary objects in sculptures by Adam Niklewicz
There is no single answer to the question of where the muse that gives inspiration is born. The fact is that this young lady is so nimble and nimble, she loves experiments and extravagance so much that she can sometimes be found in the most inappropriate places. For example, at a garbage dump. Or at a stationery store. Or even in the living room of his home. Thus, the Polish-American artist Adam Niklewicz draws inspiration from everyday objects that he sees a hundred times a day
