The creative abstract artist is Benjamin Hollingsworth. Every single piece of his work from his sculptures to his colorful paintings, he creates them all to be abstract. Hollingsworth is showing his newest pieces of art this winter, from November 17 - December 30, 2012. What is special about his abstract art is that he takes every day, ordinary things that we would think couldn’t be art, and incorporates it into something unusual. Shown in the sculpture below, he uses chairs and tables. These are everyday objects that are in every house that we wouldn’t take a second look at, but Hollingsworth creates something unthinkable.
I learned that you can take any ordinary everyday thing and make it a piece of art. I thought his work was very unusual and different. I was puzzled with some of his art work because they were very mixed but I did not find it to be that creative. Abstract art means abstractions and his sculpture using the chairs and table was representational. I think his work was different but, it did not wow me, I felt like I had seen work like his before in Museums by artists that are no longer living.
