French Artist Creates Colorful Characters Out of Everyday Objects

People with artistic inclinations naturally have imaginative minds. They see things differently and they can create songs, drawings, paintings, or stories out of seemingly ordinary experiences and objects.

Well, French artist, graphic designer, and sculptor Gilbert Legrand is no different.

Although what strikes us about him and his work is his chosen medium – objects most of us see and use every single day!

What this guy does is so amazing he’ll take simple items and turn them into funny characters. He’ll use anything ranging from scissors and zippers, to brushes and spray bottles and gives them new life by transforming them into whimsical sculptures!

Here are a few samples of his stuff:

This has got to be the most romantic scissor I’ve ever seen.

I suppose this hinge is either a detective or a salesman. Either way, I’m loving the hat and eyeglasses!

Pardon the pun but this faucet lady seems to be “running” out of water.

This is hilarious! A table tennis racket playing, well, table tennis!

Cowboys will hate this brush. Or will love it since they’ll be able to use an Indian to brush things up!

One angry axe

Now this is my personal favorite! A cool mouse “hanging out” somewhere. Haha!

This men’s choir rules!

Want more?! 

According to sources, Gilbert has been doing this for more than 10 years already and so he has already created a lot of pieces. Fortunately, those living in France (or are planning to visit the place soon) have the opportunity to see these art pieces upclose. Gilbert’s works are regularly displayed in various art centers across the country.

You can find out more about him and his masterpieces by visiting his official website or by checking him out of Facebook.
