Retro Recycled Artworks

L017's Vinyl Record Sculptures are Complex and Detailed

— March 31, 2011 — Eco
Though recycled vinyl art is not something that's particularly new, none have ever been as stunning as these particular vinyl record sculptures. I say this with such confidence because the creativity, detail and skill behind each piece of art is absolutely impressive.

Created by L017, a design studio comprised of Angelo Bramanti and Giuseppe Siracusa, these vinyl record sculptures take on many forms. From creating abstract configurations to designing more complex and intricate three-dimensional portraits, the two have learned to manipulate this otherwise stiff material into a number of different renderings.

As their vinyl record sculptures show, L017 center their artwork around waste and recycled objects. According to their site, they use "any type of media without any discrimination between the various methods of expression."
