Point work: stunning sculptures out of hundreds of thousands of nails

Marcus Levine is a sculptor specializing in the creation of statues depicting the human body. Marcus uses an unusual technique: he makes statues from a huge number of nails. The creation of some of the works it takes several weeks, sometimes even several months.

"I bring their ideas to life, hammering nails in large white wooden panels at different distances from each other below for greater detail the tone and texture. Most of my "gvozdevyh sculptures" depict the human body. The main interest to me are the lines of the human figure. They are very natural and perfectly visible, for example, during graceful dancing — it is the perfection of the forms I was trying to portray," says Marcus.
