Enviro Artist of the Day!
-MARK LANGAN-
The humble cardboard box is an object that all of use have seen. UPS delivers them, movers pack them, and Mark Langan creates art with them. His works feature commissioned logos from corporate clients, other cardboard images not related to companies, as well as works that promote the use of green products. Featured in several green reports, such as The Daily Green, Langan's work has brought recycling to the media.
He calls his work "corrugated art" keying off of the term used to describe the boxes themselves. impressively he will send between 80-100 hours for each of his images. His images range form abstract designs, still life images, to references to famous works or posters. His "Uncle Sam" touched me in its humorous image that "Uncle Sam Want YOU to Recycle." His use of various colors and textures of cardboard give his works a definite aesthetic appeal, and his environmental message can be felt throughout.
