Alex Queral // PHONE BOOK
Armed with a very sharp X-ACTO knife, artist Alex Queral carves sculptural relief portraits of individuals directly into the pages of ordinary phone books. Queral preserves his works by applying transparent acrylic paint onto the phone book pieces.
“In carving and painting a head from a phone-book directory, I’m celebrating the individual lost in the anonymous list of thousands of names that describe the size of the community.”
At last a usefull thing to do with your otherwise useless phonebooks.
Wow! Very impressive! I have never seen an artist work in this type of medium!
Now its more of a face book… haha.
I like the valuable info you provide in your articles. I’ll bookmark your blog and check again here regularly. I am quite sure I will learn lots of new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!
This stuff could end up in a museum some day! That’s really freaking awesome.
