Corey Corcoran Artist cannot imagine his creativity without mushrooms. And the point here is not in the hallucinogenic properties of this product (as some might think), but in the fact that the master uses mushroom caps as "canvases" for his original "paintings".
To create his works, Corey Corcoran uses mushroom caps, which in science are called Ganoderma applanatum. The artist's manner is characterized by a sophisticated interweaving of lines, subtle patterns that form integral images. This effect is not easy to achieve on paper, but it is doubly difficult to cope with such finicky material as a mushroom.
The image is applied using a special technique of pressing on the mushroom, each touch is equivalent to a drawn line. Accordingly, in the “mushroom” creativity the artist does not have the right to make a mistake, because it is impossible to correct the image by erasing the inappropriate “stroke”. However, this by no means worries Corey Corcoran, but rather "spurs" on to hone their skills. All of the artist's works are unique: the sizes of mushrooms range from six feet to two inches in diameter, most often the master depicts plants, insects or people. More works by this artist can be seen on his personal website.
By the way, mushrooms inspire not only artists to work. On our website Kulturologiya.ru we have already written that the "mushroom" theme can become the main one for creating amazing beauty of art objects. For example, contemporary artist Chris Drury managed to "hang in the air" an installation in the form of a mushroom cloud, and Heinz Meyer was able to capture "water" mushrooms in high-speed photographs.
