Ron Ulicny Creates Extraordinary Sculptures From Found Objects

We love <a href="http://inhabitat.com/contraband-scissors-transformed-into-sinister-spiders-by-sculptor-christopher-locke/">imaginative artwork</a> created from <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/repurposed-objects/">re-purposed items</a>, and <a href="http://www.ronulicny.com/">Ron Ulicny</a> grabbed our attention with his inventive array of sculptures made by combining items to create something unexpected. The Portland-based artist transforms commonplace bits and pieces into extraordinary decorative objects which often border on the surreal.

Part of what makes Ulicny's work so unique is his fusion of reused, older materials with new, contemporary items, like this skull and bullet combination.

Ulicny's work is entirely unique.

His pieces are fun and playful.

Ulicny mixes humor with design to form original contemporary sculptures.

The sculptures are often a wacky combination of bizarre objects.

Ulicny seems like something of a collector.

He creates modern artworks from the esoteric.

Just imagine what his storeroom must look like!
