]]> LEGO bricks have long transcended their original purpose of being toys. Thanks to the endless possibilities they offer, LEGOs are now being used in all sorts of different ways, including being material for impressive works of art.

Artist Sean Kenney uses LEGOs as the main material for his large-scale animal sculptures. From zebras and eagles to insects and sea creatures, Kenney manages to craft a realistic depiction of animals from every corner of the animal world by using only small plastic bricks.

According to Kenney, LEGOs have been his fascination since a young age. This fascination persisted even when he grew up, with the only difference being that his creations became more sophisticated.

But even as his approach changed and his projects took months to complete, building LEGO models never stopped affording him the same kind of fun. 

“As an art medium, it’s wonderful to see people’s reactions to what I create. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen someone look at my work and frown,” Kenney said in a recent interview with deMilked. “The LEGO makes it inherently whimsical, which I love. Art doesn’t have to be so serious all the time.”

]]> South Carolina-based artist Matt Wilson uses old, abandoned silverware to create beautiful art. He makes abstract animal sculptures that we fell in love with at first sight. His sculptures are then connected to pieces of wood that gives them a cool, rustic vibe.

Wilson’s art is minimalistic in a way, which only enhances its beauty. Using old spoons and forks that nobody else wanted, he curates pieces that speak for themselves and look like they came out of a dream-like fantasy movie.

It’s not easy to see art in things that others consider garbage, but it’s necessary that more people do this and make an effort to be more eco-friendly. Wilson is one of those people who does exactly that, saying that his work is a reflection of the environment he lives in. “The upcycled work I create is a testimony to the belief of conserving and appreciating our resources,” My Modern Met cited the artist.

]]> While most people just throw away old newspapers or store it in the garage, Chie Hitotsuyama turns it into awesome sculptures of animals. In order to create her three-dimensional artworks, this Japanese paper artist uses a special technique which includes employing twisted newspaper strings that are pasted together. This way, old newspapers find a new life and purpose as art instead of collecting dust in some storage unit.

“More than anything else, I’m particular about the realistic feel of the animals,” – Hitotsuyama told Kokusai Pulp & Paper of her works. “Animals that live in nature are equal to us in the sense that we live together on this planet. Sometimes they sleep. Sometimes they eat. They are living ordinary everyday lives just like us. I would like keep insisting on reality and producing my life-sized work as much as possible in order to convey their lives.”

You can see some of her works below.
