Who likes colour? Who likes sculptures? Who likes Reno, Nevada?

If you answered yes to all of the questions above, this post is for you. If you didn’t – this post is still for you. Nick Van Woert (born in Reno, living in Brooklyn) is the kaleidoscopic mind behind all of these hypnotic colours. The way I see it: Willy Wonka came to his dreams and threatened him by saying ” erect works of art influenced by rainbow colours or you’ll drown in an ever-flowing river of Skittles” – thus Nick seemed obliged to fulfill Mr. Wonka’s demands so he could spare his life from such sugar-induced hell. OR not. (Sorry I’m still sedated from the dentist..aah..)

Ok, on the serious side of things, the images below look like a bunch of colourful dots, but they are actually the back of the sculptures. Once Nick melts plastic on marble-impregnated resin busts, he puts them back in their original position, exposing lots of angles with different textures. Go visit his site to see them all!

What do you say, shall we start melting toy soldiers and give it a try?
