Paintings made of nails

By Pictolic https://www.pictolic.com/article/paintings-made-of-nails.htmlWe continue the heading "Post from the past": Do you think you can only nail shelves with nails? You're wrong! Sculptor and artist Markus Levin makes real works of art out of them. The cost of the masterpieces depends on the number of nails used to create them.

Most of the Yorkshire sculptor's works depict the human body. Levin used nails to create more abstract and inanimate sculptures, but he suddenly realized that the relationship "between rough angular nails and soft curves of the human body is simply incredible and will catch the eye."

The price of each painting depends on the number of nails used to create it. For example, it took 3,500 nails to create these sponges, so they cost 3,500 pounds (about $ 5,250). (JONATHAN HORDLE / REX FEATURES)
