Tags: About Steph? n Wanger, contractor

Steph? n Wanger is a self-taught artist that channels creative energy on bringing my glittering mosaic of recycled Mardi Gras beads. Working in a photo-realistic style sir. Wanger recreated scenes, images, and icons of Louisiana to help bring awareness to the world of beauty and wonder born of the country’s unique culture and diverse communities.


Tags: Through his experiences traveling the world, God. Wanger has gained access and influence in the Spanish Art Nouveau designs of Antoni Gaudi, Persian and Moorish architectural details in Istanbul, Turkey, and sculpture and environmental art in Chicago and a friend of artist John David Mooney. These designs and images are translated his work into a model detail and fine design. Even though the Lord. Wanger was not formally trained as an artist, he engages in trades that speaks of Fine Arts, borrowing ideal post-Impresssionistic Pointillism and emulating the style and degree of criminal Roy Lichtenstein Pop Art. By approaching each piece with superior craftsmanship, sir. Wanger has set what could be considered as a whimsical kitsch, because I’m on the material used and brings the level of “high art” of his craft.


Tags: In preparation for construction of each official, beads are meticulously sorted by size to the exact millimeter, and the perfect shade, creating a multi-point range as a painter would paint. What is the resulting play of light and colors reminiscent of a post-impressionist artists work some, while adding a new dimension of gloss and shine with, metal, plastic and lighted beads. Illusion of three-dimensional space is often created through the use of perspective, but different grain sizes in actual dimensions used to create add an element of Bas-Relief. Completed works are stunning viewed from a distance and after a close examination of his fine workmanship.


A part of Mr.

. Wanger aim to use recycled materials for its parts. Not only that collects discarded during Mardi Gras beads in an effort to remain clean after the parade, but he also regularly takes part in the rescue courts to collect additional material for their work. Through his art, Mr. Wenger hopes to encourage the citizens of Louisiana for recycling and creation, and the rest of the world to appreciate and love to get a unique culture and natural beauty Louisiana has to offer. The exhibition is called “Million Greetings from New Orleans.”
