One Man’s Trash is Another’s Art

Danish Modern&.Where is Newman? Kukec chopped drawers into triangles and piecing them back together as a "spillage of wood.

Artist Sinisa Kukec creates full installations by upcycling trash into artwork.  Kukec, who was initially trained as a potter, has turned to peoples throw-aways as material for his sculptures.  The pieces take on new shapes, and meanings, as he reassembles familiar objects into wholly new forms.

His amorphous sculptures criticize the art world while successfully defining themselves from their recycled components. Used wooden desks are split in two and forced back together at awkward angles and painted. Vintage frames surround laser lights shone through a found two-way mirror. Parking garage safety mirrors are arranged together as if peering down at epoxy coated Styrofoam balls below. Packing materials are fused with paint and epoxy and set upon an old desk chair, creating a crouching creature which looks to be made of expensive materials.
