“Star-filled night” by Van Gogh is made of recycling materials by Bernard Pras.
Beauty is skin deep. It is relative and so large that can be in any place, included broken pieces, already used clothes, used games, all depends on where you are and the perspective you have.
For someone it is waste but for others it is a treasure. The French artist Bernard Pras uses waste as a raw material for his work. Bernard recreates famous pictures with waste in an amazing way.
From far away you can see the perfect effect of brush-stroke that compounds the “Star-filled night” of Van Gogh but if differs from the original because lines are objects. “The Wave” of Hokusai is more impressive with hundreds of pieces that you can see how they form the sea foam.
Pras uses all kind of recycling materials: parts of puppets, shoes, fried bags, color wires, and many others have sense in a different way when they are linked, then you can appreciate the picture from different points, if you are far away, you have a paronamic view and you can see the detail when you approach it.
Some people has the talent to worth things that are useless and furthermore their skill to become beauty, ugly things. Art fans use to spend hours admiring pictures, now they can do the same but in a funny way.
