Haroshi

I'm a big fan of artists who use recycled materials or even trash to create sculptures and paintings or to facilitate the process. Artists such as Nick Gentry who uses old computer disks as a canvas, Julian Schnabel and his pottery paintings and Vik Muniz who brings to life the garbage from the dumps of Rio and NYC. And then there is Haroshi, who I learned of recently, belongs to this group, using as his material, broken and discarded skateboards. Here are a few of his creations.
