The Rubik's Cube is a little Object designed to keep many people busy for hours (I personally get fed-up trying to match the colours, pull it apart and click each square into it's correct place).
But have you ever thought of using a Rubik's Cube as a piece of Art? ...
What if it was used as a Medium to create Masterpieces? Well, one such Organisation, called Cube Work's Studio does just that.
Cube Work's Studio is World-Renowned for twisting Rubik’s Cubes into stunning, cutting-edge works of art. The Studio is focused on pushing the boundaries of modern art by using the brightly-coloured cubes as a distinct and universally identifiable medium.
Their works include original creations, Pop-Art references, as well as a focus on some of the more identifiable Cultural Icons of our generation. Just take a look below:
