Upcycled Art

There is an old saying that "one mans trash is another mans treasure" and  a great example of this is fine art made from found or discarded objects. This form of Upcycling has been practiced by  modern artists in almost all art movements  for the past 100 years. Every decade has been populated by artists that have taken common or found objects and re-purposed them into art  pieces having a three dimensional quality and plasticity. The commonality of all of these artist work is that  they took something from their everyday life  and re-imagined it by  expressing their  creative mind. Resulting  in an object not only with a  new value but also an emotional quality that redefined it as Art.

Below is a link to the art work of my friend John hylton, much of the materials he uses are Upcyled from waste or objects he has found.
If you go to the  link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2015573&id=1487703160 it will take you to his facebook album and you can see all of his work.

Enjoy this talented artist and let us hear back from you!
