Brian Jungen Reconstructs Shoes into Abstract Masterpieces
Sneaker aficionados will probably toss and turn as they browse through this Brian Jungen gallery of mangled shoe sculptures, but they can rest easy knowing it was at least for the sake of art. In this series, titled ‘Prototype for New Understanding,’ Jungen uses numerous Air Jordans as his medium and stitches the pricey footwear into new configurations mimicking tribal masks and other oddities. Some of the sculptures even have hair on them to further emphasize the facial characteristics of his creations. It simply does not get any more bizarre than these works.
