“Bel & Bel is a creative studio-workshop opened in 2006. It is located in Viladecans (Barcelona). It is a seventeenth century country estate house which, after a thorough process of rehabilitation, became our creative space where developing our creations.”

Bel & Bel’s artists write: “We admire the brilliant design of classical vehicles as the legendary Vespa Scooter or our beloved SEAT 600. From that admiration we began to work with these old pieces in order to give validity to its great style.”

“We are young, creative and contemporary artists. We appreciate the Art surrounding us, we live it and we adapt it.
For us, there are other ways of approaching Art to the public apart from Museums and galleries. From this intention we decided to create an open art space.
From the opening of our space, we have tried to open our as a meeting point for other artists, film makers, musicians, etc with the aim of finding a common ground to set up and share projects.”

Few days ago “sailing” at etsy I found this amazing artist: Ann P. Smiths. “ANN SMITH spends her days making little robotic like figurines from broken electronics and machine parts. The sculptures are sold in stores and galleries throughout the US and have been published as illustrations in magazines and brochures. Her Clients include Chevron lubricants division, Cricket Magazine, and Cicada Magazine.

“Ann’s illustrations have been selected to appear in the Communications Arts Illustration Annual #337, the American Illustration 25 Annual, and the 3×3 Illustration Annual No. 7. Recently, She has received both local and international recognition from Wired Magazine (US), PBS Boston, DPI Magazine (Taiwan), Architectural Digest (Germany), GQ (Germany), and The Discovery Channel Canada. ”

Have a look at Ann’s “burrowburrow” website to find out all the details about her creations, to buy them or simply to get inspirations about how to reuse your everyday broken electronics and machine parts.

That’s the creative work of the young artist Kyle Bean: black and white Honda Fireblade suspended from one side of a set of scales, with a fully disassembled Fireblade balancing these out with its hundreds of parts hanging individually on wires of varying lengths. Window display in the world famous Selfridges department store on Oxford Street in London.

The display theme is ‘The Conservation of Mass’, with the displays cleverly and innovatively highlighting how matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

Below the video. Thanks to Honda & Kyle Bean for this great creative reusing idea!

“The idea of re-using tires & inner tubes was born in 2003 when a friend asked me to make an artistic frame” says Barbara, and with the great help of Annalisa, “Bubu” for friends, they started to make an hard, great and unique job.

From the attraction by and the attention to waste and junk they decided to keep the recycling concept up and, together with the “do it by yourself” idea, they invest time and money into create artistic products, moving far away from consumer world. They decided to called their new concept and activity “Ròde “.

In 2006 was born the first dress – showed on glamour magazine 2007 – and at the same time they’ve created the first animal sculpture, mostly through re-using tires & inner tubes.
Then was born the POSTATOMIXIRCUZ Group, so Barbara and Bubu started to join art events, surreal shows creating fantastic creatures where design, art and recycled materials came alive together.

At the same time they made an amazing fashion line for everyday life: bags, dresses, shoes, hats….
