The way artists express themselves is becoming more and more diverse. Some people paint on feathers, and others use buttons to make sculptures. According to the British "Daily Mail" report, American Miami artist Augusto Eskivale let the small button play another use - he used a different length of fishing line to put a chain We have completed a series of "portrait portraits".
Childhood obsession button
Grow up to make art
The 37-year-old American artist Augusto Eskivale used his work to tell everyone that New Zealand had deducted clothes and could paint. The American boy born in Argentina and growing up in Miami has been in love for a while since childhood. Unexpectedly, many years later, he actually pulled out a piece of his own sky because of the button.
"When these buttons rest quietly in my grandmother's basket, I know that a button is very insignificant," Esquivel said. "But at the same time I also discovered that it can be a part of an unparalleled art work."
Since 2007, Eskival has been dedicated to turning ordinary objects into extraordinary button sculptures. Four years later, he finally brought his debut to the world: In addition to the "Mona Lisa", "World Map" and other graphic works, there are pianos, fire extinguishers, toilets, old-fashioned record players with 3D effects, Wall clock, flowers, etc.
Esquivel interprets the beauty of art in another way: the swaying Mona Lisa opens up a mysterious smile of another dimension; the warm marshmallow candy stall hangs from the resin shelf, bringing up The childhood memories of the viewer. “I am often obsessed with comparing the realities and future changes of an object and trying to find the balance between them. Art makes a common item complex and interesting by transforming it,†he said.
Discard unwanted colors to create black and white
In an exhibition recently held for him by the Miami Contemporary Art Gallery, Eskivale showcased his latest creation - a group of 3D buttoned Hollywood stars. Compared with previous works, this group of "paintings" abandons the extra colors, mainly using buttons in three colors: black, white, and gray.
This time, Esquivel told reporters how such a "painting" was accomplished. First of all, he needs to hang hundreds of fishing lines of varying lengths from the ceiling, and then put on white, gray and black buttons, and then a wonderful combination of buttons. "Buttons are alive, and each button is like an atom in the molecule and plays an irreplaceable role in the whole. As for which button should be placed in which position, I will put the button to my ear and listen to the button." 'I want to be...'" Eskille said with a laugh.
The visual art effects of these buttons are incredible: From a separate look, this is a series of buttons, but when Esquivir puts together the lines, you will find that it is a portrait of a person. Under the artist's ingenuity, Hollywood superstars such as Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and James Dean have come to life, and the surrealist painter Salvador Dali has a sharp edge.
A "painting" took one and a half months
The process of making a button “painting†seems simple, but in fact, it takes at least one and a half months for each piece to reach its completion. Because each button must be carefully depicted and dried, each fishing line must be precisely cut. After the buttons are hung on the fishing line, he must also be fixed one by one.
Since the production is so small, why does Eskiwell insist on using buttons to "paint"? Esquial believes that the buttons carry the personality of the wearer, there are various people in the world, and there are various buttons. It is very interesting to cooperate with such diverse materials. “These solid little things are hung up and show lightness and dreams that are contrary to their sturdiness. I really like this feeling.â€
If you let the artist pick the best one from all the pieces, Esquivale will probably have a headache. "I like all the works and I don't like them the most because each one is unique," he said.
