Fiberglass and modern art: a perfect combination
You may have seen a lot of fiberglass artworks already, without knowing you were looking at one. Today, a lot of modern artworks is made of fiberglass materials. Recently a giant composite material artwork mysteriously emerged on a Florida beach.
In November a huge Lego man statue appeared on a Florida Beach. The almost 2,5 meters high statue only weights 45 kilos and is made of fiberglass materials. Nobody knew where it came from, but as it appears the Lego man is part of a Dutch art project, called Ego Leonard.
Fiberglass materials are a popular material in modern works of art, as the material can be made to resemble many other materials, such as wood, stone, glass and even human skin. At the same time, the material weights less than traditional materials, is very strong and durable.
