Recycled art is not something that’s beautiful but just a waste of time and space. It’s like alchemy which turns base metal into gold, except that it turns trashes into gold. Take recycled Optimus Prime with 2.5 meters tall as example, it was sold with 7800 U.S. dollars, sounds like a good price for a combination of metals which were originally treated as trashes.
Are they really that beautiful and worth the purchase? You can figure out the answer with 68 jaw-dropping recycled arts showcased in this post, which include items I mentioned above and other stunning work as well like Michael Jackson’s portrait formed by cassette tape, robot constructed by hard disks, paintings made on diskette, anything you never think of! And for the first time, you will be amazed by the beauty of reformed trashes.

Jane Perkins
‘I started making richly decorated brooches in my final year, using broken jewellery, plastic toys and other small found objects. Inspiration came from festival headdresses from Ecuador discovered while researching my thesis on art from recycled materials. The headdresses, covered with all kinds of shiny and odd things, are bizarre and quirky, yet beautiful – I love them!’Obama. (Image Source: Jane Perkins)
