I chose to research this particular artist because he is so very different from anyone else I have blogged about before. The art that he does is constructed out of items i know I can find in my recycle bin. ( yeah thats right.. i recycle!) He uses bottle caps, paper, plastic and cardboard. It is funny because he makes these models of utopian cities. This is what he has pictured Africa (where he is from) to look like in the future. This my not be that interesting in today's context but the fact is that he has created this in 1948 and I don't believe it is too far from the truth.
