NDI Gallery Art sculptures

These are sculptures made from recycled plastics I.E pegs, children's toys, buttons ect. ect.

Recycle in Art form

I have been doing some research on how recycling is influenced within Art. I found some links on the Internet from an Art gallery called NDI. This gallery focuses on using discarded everyday objects and creating them into three-dimensional artistic compositions. This specific art from originates from the early 20th century. Artists known for using this technique are :
Robery Rauschenberg
Man ray
Marcel Duchamp
Pablo Picasso.
In today's world, the genre encompasses everything from Eco-friendly art work to cheap recycled crafts. Few people now are unaware of just how amazingly creative recycled art form can be.
At this gallery they set out to assemble the finest examples they can find from around the world. This gallery is also designed to promote public awareness of recycled assembled art. They set out to showcase the Eco-friendly art to an increasing wider audience.
I enjoyed looking around this website as it changed my opinion and perception within art, about how it's not just about putting a paintbrush to paper, it's about exploring different techniques using everyday things that we just presume is rubbish and turning it into some breath taking Artwork.
Here are some images of the sculptures formed at this art gallery. The first three are sculptures of Nike Blazers, Titanium. I found it very appropriate to add these images into my research as the Nike Blazer trainers are a massive hit all over the world right now. The trainers have gone down like a storm in the fashion culture. This shows how fashion, art and recycle can be linked together. Something that was brought to our attention many decades ago (recycle art) is still being used now to change options and perceptions within climate and social changes.
