Vik Muniz




This piece of artwork is called The Gipsy (Magna) from the series ‘’Pictures of Garbage’’. I think it is so interesting how he uses every day materials to create his masterpieces. This artwork is made from garbage. As seen in the video in class, he traveled to his hometown in Brazil and visited the largest garbage dump-  Jardim Gramacho.  It just shows that if you have an artistic and creative eye, you can use anything from sugar, jelly, peanut butter even garbage to produce a portrait.
