Found object art

Found object art is a form of artistic expression where artists repurpose everyday items—such as tools, furniture, or discarded objects—into artworks. By transforming these objects, artists challenge traditional notions of art and highlight their aesthetic or conceptual value. This approach often emphasizes creativity, innovation, and commentary on consumer culture or environmental issues. Found object art can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional and encourages viewers to see ordinary objects in new, often thought-provoking ways. It underscores that art can be found everywhere and that ordinary items can carry deep artistic or symbolic significance.
