It’s no secret that I like art. But what I particularly love are works of unexpected creativity and imagination, which, it must be admitted, are sometimes the creations of slightly crazy people, or at least those who are willing to break “the rules” (see quotes by Lady Gaga and others below). These sculptures, many made out of non-“art” materials, run the gamut from the sublimely subtle to the supremely absurd. Enjoy!

Thank you, Jen. You too!
The lion artwork is quite attractive
I agree, Pragati! (That’s why I put it at the start of the gallery.)
Picasso quote gets my vote! Thanks for this blog today… hard day and it lifted my spirits! Take care

These are amazing. There is a place in Florida, called Solomon’s Castle. it is full of art and sculptures and everything, including the castle and boat are made from scrap and recycled materials. It is amazing. If you ever head down there, I think you would love it. Website images: http://solomonscastle.com/Gallery.aspx
I’ll take a look, Carla. Thanks!
These give hope, Mitch!

The creativity of the human mind boggles mine. I stood behind the door when they were passing out creativity but I was first in line to get the appreciation of it. Loved everyone one of those pieces of sculpture. WOW! Thanks for sharing.
