Igor Verny, a Russian artist, has a unique talent for breathing new life into discarded materials by transforming them into intricate steampunk animal sculptures. His creations range from the delicate wings of insects to the graceful forms of birds and the fluid motion of sea creatures. Each piece is meticulously hand-assembled from a variety of recycled components, including old car parts, bike chains, silverware, and timepieces, which he collects from various sources. The articulated parts of these sculptures add a dynamic quality, allowing them to be positioned in lifelike poses that capture the essence of the animals they represent.
Verny’s work is not only a testament to his artistic and technical skill but also a compelling commentary on the potential for upcycled art to challenge our perceptions of waste and beauty. His sculptures have garnered attention for their detailed craftsmanship and the way they harmonize the mechanical with the natural, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between art, science, and the environment.
