Elisabeth Lecourt - paper clothes

Elisabeth Lecourt, a French artist who is based in London,  creates clothes out of maps from cities like Paris, New York and London. The clothes are meant to hang on the wall as art, not to wear. 
I just love them...

Recycled clothes and Art: Guerra De La Paz

2 2 posts in one day!! When I saw these images on the internet I could not resist the temptations to dedicate a post to Guerra de la Paz, http://guerradelapaz.com/book8/book.html

Guerra de la Paz is the composite name thas represents the creative team efforts of Cuban born artist, Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz.

Their work is based on a combination of traditional disciplines and experimentation. They have created a series of sculptural art works out of discarded, recycled clothing. The figures of sculptural iconography are made from t-shirts, shoes, boots, socks and more, many of which have been dug out of secondhand stores in Little Haiti, Miami. The message Guerro De La Paz conveys with their recycled clothing art is about the consume-and-discard nature of our mass-produced lifestyles.

I LOVE THEM!!!

Totally enchanted by Jacob Hashimoto

I have visited Arte Fiera yesterday, the art fair which takes place every year in Bologna.

I was totally enchanted by the beauty I saw, overwhelmed by too many beautiful works of art in just one place.

I must say my favourite artist in Jacob Hashimoto...he is an artist based in New York. Drawing on his Japanese heritage, he creates light three-dimensional structures such as wall hangings comprising thousands of miniature 'kites': bamboo-stiffened rice paper hexagons suspended with nylon fishing line...look at the pics above and tell me if whatever he does is not absolutely fantastic?!!!
