I decided to research this artist because his work is so very different from anything else I have ever seen before. It is really cool actually. Kingelez is from Africa and he builds these utopian scapes out of materials like plastic, paper and cardboard. It is amazing what he can do with basic recyclable items. He uses bottle caps and all sorts of things but what he is trying to make is what he sees as the future of Africa. It may not seems that cool in today's setting but this was created in 1948. I think that he has a pretty good understanding of what is to come.
