Hanoch Piven and  Mark Jenkins are two artists that seem to share a sense of  whimsy and humor.

HANOCH PIVEN

While on vacation this summer I happened upon an exhibit of  these colorful and witty works  by Israeli artist Hanoch Piven.  He uses common everyday objects to create amusing portraits of notable people.  A closer look at the particulars of the objects  only makes it more fun.

If you’re not sure who is represented, hold the cursor over the image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MARK JENKINS

Mark Jenkins has been busy since my first post of his Scotch Tape Sculptures.  Here are some of the new ones, still deserving of chuckles.  In some of the images you might have to search to find the sculpture–the baby.
