While people already consider playing the piano a beautiful art form, the Piano as Art series shows that the piano itself can be turned into stunning sculptures. Although the materials used look familiar, they have been transformed into surreal objects. As one of the most popular musical instrument in the world, it is not hard to find piano parts to work with.
A collaboration project between Penny Putnam and Shauna Holiman, the Piano as Art series focuses on their individual skills, blending them together for the creation of intriguingly abstract artworks. Putnam is an expert on mixed water media and collage as well as graphic design while Holiman is a trained opera performer. Pooling their talents together, Piano as Art is filled with amazing transformative postmodern art.
