Oh, and by the way, this is also a wonderful example of what can be achieved digitally these days. I love that the octopus also has a steaming cup of coffee beside her as she reads. She calls this her “Incongruities” series. That is tremendously exciting to me (and something that I hope I see more of in the future)!Īrtist Rebecca Flaum does a lot of these quirky - not really comedic, just a little quirky - paintings like “Octopus with Books”, and I think that they are all terrific. I would love this mosaic no matter what it was made from, but knowing that it has been made from recycled aluminum cans? Instead of going into a landfill, these cans have been used as art material. It’s like there is an additional skillset there - you need to be able to artistically envision something, but additionally you need to figure out how to break it down into little pieces. I’m a big fan of mosaics in general, as I love the idea of taking small pieces and assembling them in a way that creates something completely different. This Aluminum Can Octopus Mosaic is certainly one of the best things that I’ve seen lately. Let’s kick off this list of great octopus artwork with a piece of … really cool octopus artwork!
