What's the artwork about?
This artwork has won the Central Singapore Upcycling Contest 2020 in the People's Choice Award category.
It is dominantly made out of old cassette tapes that have been obsolete. It serves as a dual function. One as an umbrella holder and the other as an art installation for your home decor.
This art piece is simply reminiscing the childhood days of our time, when we used to sing and play in the rain. Without any worries of getting sick just for the sake of having a fun time. Also, listening to music by using cassette tapes. The good old days.
Meet the Artist
Meet the Artist
Singapore, SingaporeWhat inspires me in doing art is the everyday objects that I observed surrounding me. Environment. Nature. People. Culture. Fashion.
A self-taught artist, Art R’eev transforms “Trash Into Treasure” in his mixed media works. He finds creative ways to reuse materials and conserve resources to address issues of environmental change, and the concepts of up-cycling and recycling are central to his practice. What may have been regarded as ‘ugly’ is now turned into the beautiful in Art R’eev’s colourful and energetic abstract works.
