The image of Mona Lisa made of peanut butter and jelly? Portrait of Elizabeth Taylor made from diamonds? Frankenstein from caviar? Whether you appreciate art for the creative medium of self-expression it is…or if you think it’s just plain silly…you’ll be intrigued by the work of Vik Muniz!
Born in São Paulo in 1961, Muniz has made a name for himself in the art world with his characteristic style of creating images using non-art materials. His works have included creations made from thread, wire, cotton, chocolate syrup, caviar, used computer parts and ripped magazine pages. He then photographs them, preserving the image of the work for display.

We enjoy art. We try to produce art. We collect art. We admire those who create art. What is it that makes us so drawn to art?
Art welcomes us a to new realm full of new ideas, new concepts, new ideologies, new possibilities. We suddenly find ourselves in the inner world of a fellow human being. All humanity sharing a common thread, we identify ourselves with the artist. A soft voice whispers inside us “Ah, that is so true”. “Uncannily apt”. And we realise we are not alone in how we perceive, how we interpret and how we feel. An exquisite piece of art often symbolies that which is universal, yet so rare; ideas we all know, but never realised. It delves into our subconscious and brings up details that were till now collectively unknown to the human consciousness...
