Beer Can Butterflies by Paul Villinski

Beer Can Butterflies by Paul Villinski

When I was in college… I did an art project with cola cans that I cut up into devil and angel shapes. I thought I was cool. Artist Paul Villinski just blew my coolness waaaaay out of the water. He has made this series of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G butterfly installation sculptures out of 108 beer cans. He hand cuts each one from found beer cans in New York and New Orleans, and then they are suspended with wires so they can move around. Just stunning. Check out more of his work at his website. He’s exhibiting at this weekend’s CA Boom Show in Santa Monica, so definitely check it out if you’re attending! (images by Annie Wells/LA Times and Paul Villinski’s website)
