Ep 117: Jeff Meszaros - Bottle Cap Art
Manage episode 459933370 series 3002951
After collecting thousands of colourful bottle caps over several years, Jeff Meszaros had a brilliant idea - he could create a mosaic using these unconventional art supplies. Through trial and error, Jeff developed techniques to flatten and layer the caps in a unique way, allowing him to create textured portraits and images that also include 'easter eggs' that can be found when they’re viewed up close.
He’s now created over 150 mosaic portraits featuring well-known people including David Bowie, Harry Styles, Anthony Bourdain, Dolly Parton, Michael Jordan, Elvis and Freddie Mercury.
Thanks to Jeff’s work, over 350,000 bottle caps have been diverted from the landfill and he hopes his artwork inspires other creatives to think of ways to upcycle single-use items into high-value works of art.
On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Jeff about how he developed his artistic skill set, how he creates a new design concept, the creative community he loves, and how he continues to challenge himself by experimenting with different mediums.
