'smoke and mirrors',
well here is another one, 'string and nails', London-based
Ben Koracevic is a young, self-taught string artist, photographs The
String Art Guy,
using
thousands of nails carefully positioned on a blank white canvas, and pieces of
string with a collective length of over one kilometer,
Ben
is the talented artist behind London-based Stringometry Art Studio,
where his works are listed for sale for anywhere between £900 ($1,115) and
£4,000 ($5,000), depending on their complexity and the time and effort that
went into them,
for example, the portraits of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson,
required 6,000 nails, 1,200 meters of string and 250 hours of painstaking work,
while that detailed string portrait of an elephant took the artist “only” 80
hours to complete,
“I am a self taught string artist with a driven passion to
push the boundaries of my imagination through the use of nails and string,” Ben
Koracevic said. “Creating emotion and expression from this rare art form is a
constant challenge. It motivates me to produce uniquely detailed art pieces
that are consumed with hours of pride and enjoyment.”
Ben’s
portfolio currently numbers eight stunning string artworks, but he’s already
working on more complex pieces,
He already has over 10,000 fans on his Instagram page, a number that I am sure is going to increase, very soon!
