Drap-Art USA
Del 7 al 16 de juny de 2019
GATEWAY CENTER, PITTSBURGH
In 2019 Drap-Art returns to Pittsburgh, this time with a large installation by the Kenyan organization Ocean Sole, a non-profit organization that draws attention to sea pollution and at the same time employs artists and artisans from their country. He has specialized in carving animals of flip flops collected on the beach. We placed a herd of giraffes (a giraffe 4.5 m high, one 2.5 m high and two 2 m high) on the grass in the area of the festival art market, an elephant and a turtle at the entrance of the market and the rhinoceros was changing location, with a challenge to find it. He liked it a lot and generated a lot of activity on social networks.
In Ocean Sole, in addition to many artisans, there are 7 artists specialized in the creation of large format pieces or Master Pieces. In Pittsburgh, one of them, the young Masai Jonathan Lenato, moved to finish the assembly of the pieces in situ.
