It's not everyday that think just by looking a typical trash left on a nyc train platform that you may be looking at art?! In the case of 33 year old artist Nina Boesch, it's not trash at all! But the early making of a masterpice of NYC art in the form of old used MTA Metrocards. Nina a German exchange student claims that 11 years ago she was just tooling around with a bunch of old metrocards (Used of course!) and she was trying to make a cheap present for the family that hosted her stay in nyc. So she made a map of the united states for them, and the family loved the gift so much that thaey encouraged her to continue her craft. So she did! Nina has made many mosaic master pices including some famous hollywood actors such as Aubrey Hepburn, Woody Allen, John Lennon, Steve McQueen and others. But her most striking work are the brilliant pieces of the Brooklyn Bridge, Lincoln Center, Radio City Music Hall, The Empire State Building and other amazing pieces. Nina is a true inspiration of an artist who expresses the human imagination to bring us true mater pieces of beautiful art right here in New York City.
If you like Nina's work you can purchase any one of them, with prices ranging of $200-$2,500, to hang righ in your home. You can also see Nina's art work at The Bean Coffee Shop in The East Village and at the House of Art Gallery in Brooklyn for limited time.
AMAZING!!!!!
