Paintings made of nails

By Pictolic https://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.

All the works of Markus Levin, presented at the exhibition at Gallery 27 in London, are made only with a hammer and nails. (JONATHAN HORDLE / REX FEATURES)

Hammering nails into wooden panels at different distances from each other, Marcus creates incredible paintings. (JONATHAN HORDLE / REX FEATURES)

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)
