Worldart: Leo Sewell

You know what they say, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” for Leo Swell that is very true. Sewell resides in Philadelphian and continues to work on Junk sculpture artist that u that the material used from scraps. This form of art follows a naturalistic theme, and animals feature prominently in his creations. Most of the texture is made from plastic, metal and wood. Sewell picks of the objects base of from their color, shape texture, and durability. He nails these pieces together with bolts, and nails.
Although when people think of art they usually decide to look at something that has a meticulous beauty to it. Although with Leo’s art it does have a rough texture that shapes his models yet the different colors and designs of his objects inside keep the eye looking ever more around to see something new. The subjects range from some countertop objects to wall and building sizes. Most of his collection is seen in over 40 museums and in private collections worldwide.

Recycled art is something more and more artist seems to be focus on recently which is understandable that the parts are easy to find, they come in their own shape and color and depths.
Anything can be used and transformed into art: Milk bottles, soda cans, toilet rolls, tubes and tires, even driftwood.
