Seattle-based artist Sunday Nobody, who likes to call himself a “meme artist,” is known for his unusual and elaborate projects that included making ice hot dog sculptures and analog GIFs. Now, he is back with another intriguing creation that is already creating buzz on social media.
Called “Dumpster Gallery,” the project saw Sunday Nobody create a miniature art gallery inside a dumpster. The gallery features various artworks accompanied by tiny figurines of raccoons in trench coats, which probably “sneaked” in to check out the exhibition.
The artist created everything from scratch, including the dumpster, the insides of the gallery and its contents, and raccoon figurines. The artworks were tattoo machine-drawn versions of some of the most iconic photos found on the internet.
After realizing that the dumpster looked “way too clean,” he proceeded to give him wear and tear treatment while also painting graffiti on it and placing various stickers. He then found an abandoned alley in a part of the city known for art galleries and left the “Dumpster Gallery” for people to find.
As part of the project, Sunday Nobody created large-scale versions of the artworks in the miniature gallery and is currently offering them for sale on his official website. He also shared several videos on Instagram that documented his creative process.
