A friend introduced me to this artist a couple of months ago and yes i thought his work was interesting but I didn't really think anything of it. But today, while nursing the hangover from hell, i decided i was in a creative mood and thought why don't I take a look at his website. Will Coles has a talent for turning an ordinary object that we are fond of or used to into an artistic piece with a difference maybe even with a sadistic hidden message.
Some of his items include guns with Mickey Mouses' head sticking out the end, televisions with a single word on the screen, mobile phones with I miss U on the engraved in the screen etc. Another reason that this artist is so unique is the places that he leaves his sculptures; in front of the Opera House, in a grave yard as part of the head stone, crashing a sculpture walk that he was not invited to give work too and dingy alleyways.
Check him out on his website:
And look out for his items dotted around Sydney (hint: start in Newtown)
