Money Art

Feb 17th, 2009 by capitaladmin

Australian art student Nicholas Manion [Queensland College of Art, Brisbane]  hit upon a clever idea: delicately cut paper currency forming the skyline of major cities. His one-of-a-kind notes bring a contemporary visual connection to their country of origin, in addition to images of statesmen, local languages and artistic styles.

Money makes the world go round and circles the globe forming links between cities on opposite sides of the world. Nicholas further explains his art:

My work aims to explore ideas connected with cities, urban life and the built environment. Reflecting my own background, my art cannot be solely understood as either illustration or sculpture; rather in challenging the relationships between two-and three-dimensional forms, these works in paper seek to create an “in-between” state of pure form free from preconceptions and noise. I seek to transform common materials such as paper and cardboard into delicate objects of intricate detail and unexpected beauty
