Garbage insects: the master creates original sculptures
The incredible creations are created by the British artist Mark Oliver. The bugs, moths, dragonflies and Oliver's butterflies seem familiar to the viewer at first glance. And if you take a closer look at the sculptures, it becomes clear why such a feeling is created. An amazing collection of insects, called The Litter bug, is made of things that surround us in everyday life. Broken parts and things worn out by time have found new life thanks to the master. What was thrown into a landfill, Gerard turned into incredible and creative creations.
The author has such a rich imagination that he can recreate an insect from literally everything he finds in the trash can (books with a thick cover, old toys, mechanical fragments from electrical appliances, broken glasses, old toys, etc.)
The artist believes that his sculptures are like miniature robots. “My insects are creatures endowed not only with resourcefulness and ingenuity, but also with intelligence. Their appearance is a confirmation of this: insects have perfectly adapted to the harsh realities of modern life, filled with complex technologies and progressive achievements in the scientific environment.
Oliver gave each insect from the unusual collection its own names, hinting at the material that was used in their creation. For example, the Conductor Bug is made of copper semiconductors and old gears, and Mark used the cover of a Bible book to make The Prophet Moth. Fragments of the pages of the scientific encyclopedia turned into the body and wings of the "Reference Moth".
The craftsman continues to work on The Litter bug continuously. New exhibits made from the most unexpected fragments can be seen during the author's solo exhibitions. In addition, Mark shows fans his "petite friends" on the pages of social networks. The master puts up some of the insects for sale. The craftsman's works become an original accent in the interior of any home.
