Salvaged Object Sculptures

Artist Damion Silver Uses Found Objects to Create Eco Artwork

— June 6, 2013 — Eco
In his series of collage-like sculptures entitled Assemblages, artist Damion Silver uses found objects, such as pieces of wood, plastic and little nicknacks, to create art that is environmentally sustainable.

Not only are all the materials used in each composition entirely different from each other, but also the designs and inspirations behind each piece varies greatly, creating a vastly dynamic and eclectic collection of artwork. That is what happens when the artist's vision needs to adapt to the different shapes and styles of the various items he finds, allowing him to exercise his creativity and ingenuity afresh each time he begins a new design.

Artist Damion Silver uses neon hued paints and graphic shapes in his incredibly versatile collection of collages made up of salvaged materials.
Trend Themes
1. Eco Artwork - There is a growing trend in creating art that is sustainable and environmentally friendly, presenting opportunities for businesses to explore sustainable practices in art and design.
