Tristan Manco reveals how artists of all kinds are bringing
creativity to basic, often unglamorous materials from broken
bottles, old flip-flops, and skateboards to sustainable resources
such as wood, straw, and paper. Through hundreds of illustrations,
in-depth artist profiles, and detailed discussions of various
materials, he showcases the work of more than thirty innovative and
inspiring artists from around the world, from the United States,
Mexico, Brazil, and Chile to the UK, Spain, France, and Italy.
Some of the artists have invented new techniques American artist
Rosemarie Fiore uses fireworks to create paintings while others
have pushed the envelope in the presentation of their work by
creating fresh, dynamic forms of display. Whether it is Chilean
artist Carlos Zuniga s creative use of text pages from found books
and directories or Brazilian sculptor Henrique Oliveira s ambitious
organic forms in salvaged plywood, the book highlights how
imaginative approaches to media and technique encourage us to look
at the world in new ways."
