(Show Me The) Money Art.

Money Man by Bela Borsodi.

Well, well well…. Who would’ve thought? It turns out us humans are quite obsessed with money. In case you need further proof of this radical concept – look no further than today’s post, which explores the most compelling examples of graphics, sculptures, collages, portraits and jewellery created using nothing other than coins and paper money.

While the core concept is incredibly simple, the results are nothing short of spectacular. Each project is an exploration of our relationships with and our responses to money, in political, moral, and social settings. Alright – let’s dive in. Show me the money honey!
