Paul Villinski is amazing.

Paul Villinski: ”Hard Lesson” 2006; wooden child's chair, wooden ladder, sandbags; 109” x 30” x 30”

this one's maybe my favorite, though i am in love with all i have seen of his work.


Paul Villinski: "Air Chair” (detail) 2005; found wheelchair, steel, aluminum, wood, rayon; 18'-6” x 3' x 11'-6” ; photo Hiro Ihara

the story behind this one is heartwrenchingly admirable: http://www.paulvillinski.com/artist_statement/artist_statement.html and well worth reading.


Paul Villinski: "Paradigm” (detail) 2007; aluminum (found beer cans), wire, soot; 38” x 52” x 6” mounted to MDF panel

and of course these are hard to resist, facinating, and rather reminecient of print design...though of course the 3-d flutter effect is perhaps the best part and unachievable in 2-d.
