Unusual sculptures from buttons

        








Augusto Esquivel artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Represented by Now Contemporary Art gallery in Miami, Augusto's work involve the use of thousands of carefully of carefully selected multi-colored buttons and buttons for sewing. Hudognik often obsessed with comparisons of reality and potential, the balance between them in art. The idea of chaos in perfect order: an object on a solid, can also be fragile and inconsistent to the touch. A common object used to create the work of art becomes transformed into something complicated and intriguing. Augusto realizes how insignificant and small can be a simple button for sewing when it is just sitting in the box at grandma's, but at the same time unique and precious it can become as part of the artwork. As an atom in a molecule, each button serves and shapes the a unified whole. The author tries to establish contact with the buttons and buttons, listening to them, talking.









How is the creative process Augusto? First of all, he sees an object that catches attention, like a piano, for example. We then investigate, measure, analyze color, the number of black and white colors, different types. It then creates acrylic and the form selects the button, the type and quantity (for the Piano was used 60 pounds of buttons). Then he paints the buttons, thread them with monofilament and hangs up. You must place each button in the correct place to create a whole object. The large amount of time, but Augusto is enjoying every minute of it.
