Aluminum Cans

Consumerism isn’t such a bad thing when art can be produced. Just off the environmental conference theme, here’s a new take on another catchy green idea — recycling. Chris Jordan has reconstructed Seurat’s famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, solely using aluminum cans. Wow, this must have taken some patience.

Now I wonder where this detail is located in the larger image?

BTW, he’s also taken photos in New Orleans, in the wake of Katrina–uncanny connection.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
