The artist who makes the impossible possible by transforming objects of everyday use into fun works of art

Gilbert Legrand is an artist who transforms objects of everyday use into real works of art, bringing to light their hidden personality.

After giving the creative potential, Gilbert puts himself at work with colors and brushes, and this is how banal objects become characters or animals with a humorous touch in a flash. Like the brush turned into an Indian chef, the paper bag transformed into cats, the bottle of the detergent transformed into an elephant. And what about the taps?!

Gilbert comes from a career in the world of publishing and advertising, but has always loved to give a second life to everyday objects, until he has become his full -time work. Today he brings his art to the world by participating in itinerant exhibitions, festivals and other events.

What makes Gilbert’s art so fascinating is his ability to invite us to look at the world from new perspectives, awakening in each of us the imagination and sense of wonder that we often forget.

Among other things, the artist has published several books dedicated to his works and his creative process, such as “Le Grand Show Des Petites Thourses”, “Animaux Surprises”, “Héros Surprises”.

In addition to transforming objects of everyday use, Gilbert also works digitally, giving new life to photographs of objects which, thanks to its ironic imagination, are revisited and reinterpreted in surprising ways.

What can I say, his creative world is truly surprising precisely because of the ability to transform the most banal object into something extraordinary, grasping the hidden potential.
