Art can surprise you at times by the amount of practicality involved. A case in point being art that is created from what otherwise would have been considered junk. Yes, art has a lot to do with imagination and in this case, some artists have gone so far as to look at things we would throw away normally as raw material for artworks. You just have to look at examples of melted crayon art to realize the truth of this.

When marble speaks, miracles happen
What do you see when looking at an unused fork, a screw, a car part, and other scraps? Most of us see something that belongs in a dump, except for Brian Mock, a sculptor and a metal revolutionist who is bringing reclaimed materials back to life in a form of spectacular sculpture art.

February 2016 - Guanajuato Mexico When we were in Guanajuato we saw many sculptures around town done by Lenora Carrington. Leonora Carrington established herself as both a key figure in the Surrealist movement and an artist of remarkable individuality. Her biography is colorful, including a romance with the older artist Max Ernst, an escape from the Nazis during World War II, mental illness, and expatriate life in Mexico. In her art, her dreamlike, often highly detailed compositions of fantastical creatures in otherworldly settings are based on an intensely personal symbolism. The artist herself preferred not to explain this private visual language to others. However, themes of metamorphosis and magic, as well as frequent whimsy, have given her art an enduring appeal. Here is a link to the New York Times obituary. Serpiente Voladora or Flying Serpent Gato de la Noche or Night Cat Inventora del Atol or Inventor of Atol. Atol is a traditional cornstarch-based Central American hot drink. Cato or Cat You can get a glimpse the statue of Diego Rivera behind the cat. The Palmist Tamborilera or Tambourine player is outside the University. The Ship of Craner Insecto or Insect. We also went to a museum featuring more of her works. My favourite.

Brazilian artist, Ana Smile, has created a bit of controversy with her company Santa Blasphemy, which creates plaster religious statues painted in the form of pop-culture icons such as Batman, Frida Kahlo, Catwoman, Captain Hopper, The Joker, and Minnie Mouse. Reportedly, angry emails from offended Catholics have been sent petitioning the local government to do something about the “blasphemous” paint jobs, but the government has not attempted to intervene. Since then, the artist has been bombarded with outraged Facebook and Instagram messages. The artist has stated (via the magic of Google Translate): So it frustrates me so much this whole brouhaha in recent days. The pieces were created as decorative items. It has nothing to do with religion. Continuing, Smile indicated that she is not dissuaded by the outrage, and will continue her work: I’m so bogged down from people interested in buying and know the work positively that the last thing I’ll do is read this petition. Here are some of Smile’s “blasphemies”: Via: Yahoo News, Brazil and Vice News, Brazil
