HOLY COW or bull, scap metal animal sculpture

Pollutants are of varied kinds and tackling each one has its own methods. One such pollutant comes in the form of used cars. The rate at which cars are being produced and consumed is increasing alarmingly. People soon get ‘bored’ with one car and move on to purchase a new one creating an ever-increasing junkyard of old used cars. Amid such a use and throw scenario, Miina Akkijyrkka attempts to make optimum use of these discarded vehicles and gives them a completely new look.

This Helsinki based sculptor shows a close attachment to cows through her works. She is one who works with cows in more than one way and her academic history goes on to prove it. She did attend an art school to pursue her interest in sculpting but also spent one full year at the Dairy Farming School. Adding a bit of mechanics to her two fields of study she came up with these gigantic bovine creatures that adorn the hillsides and countryside keeping an eye on all the grazing cows.

It is not an easy job to acquire old cars. Although there being plenty many people do not wish to part with their cars. Akkijyrkka often goes trekking in her country and in the process also looks out for used cars. Having successfully purchased the old cars she heads homewards where every car is carefully pulled apart, welded where necessary and soon given a completely new makeover. These creatures made out of scraps of used cars stand tall amidst nature presenting a definite figure which otherwise would have been parts of huge junkyards.

The cow sculptors created by Akkijyrkka break the monotony of the green stretches with the myriad colors they exhibit. As all the cars she has made use of are of varied colors, her cows also come out in multiple shades. The very form and posture of these cows also present a variety with some standing erect, some grazing while some sitting in a comfortable position simply taking a look at the lovely surroundings.

Would you like to see a bronze sculpture of Amy Winehouse NUDE

"Immediately following the death of Amy Winehouse earlier this year, fans helped commemorate her by making her iconic Back To Black album claim the top spot on iTunes in countries worldwide. And many of our favorite artists paid their own tributes to the soul singer, including M.I.A., Big Boi and Tony Bennett. Now fans will have another way to forever remember Amy -- a bronze sculpture.

Daniel Edwards, the artist who brought us a rather graphic depiction of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber's young romance and a rendition of Lady Gaga that's meant as a metaphor for the 2010 Gulf oil spill, recently revealed his latest work -- a bronze bust of Amy Winehouse. Comparatively speaking, Edwards' take on the singer is a bit more subdued than his other works, as the bust seems to serve as a straightforward tribute to Amy.

The "Memorial Portrait for Amy Winehouse" shows the "Body & Soul" singer wearing her signature beehive hairstyle, and we get a feeling of serenity and peace through the flowers and lone bird nestled in her big hair. On his latest creation Edwards said, "I thought of her as a beautifully delicate fairy-tale princess, waiting to be rescued from fame and addiction, but her prince never came. I had always expected to sculpt her portrait, but I was waiting for her to put some of her troubles behind her. She had made me pay attention to contemporary music again."
