Recycling, reusing, re-purposing, searching for green ways to do things, it’s all in favor of protecting the environment. These green methods are slowly finding their ways into everyday life, so why not art as well.
Brazilian artist Christian Pierini aka Mister Copyright or Mr. (C) has taken trash and turned it into installations, raising the awareness of protecting the environment trough art.
He is the CEO of Union Groups and Artists Theater West Zone, and even wth his busy schedule of teaching the next generation of artists, he still finds time to create masterpieces using the most unexpected tools.
