The Deal Maker turned Art Maker by recycling 150,000 Nespresso coffee capsules and creating his first art project called "Pixtures" having his exhibition premiere being held in the historic pop culture arena of SoHo. Bellino’s creative inspiration expanded to almost one hundred pop culture figures, from art, entertainment, music, sports, politics and personalities. In the SoHo temporary installation built exclusevely to display Bellino's art exhibit comprised by seventeen 6.5 foot square images, including John F. Kennedy, Ghandi, Marilyn Monroe, Ray Charles, James Taylor, Valentino, Oprah and President Obama. Bellino contemplated the fast paced world of digitized images and envisioned a concept representative of functional object and celebrity defined as a reinterpretation of our cultural process. The Nespresso coffee capsules depict colors point by point -- up close it is a myriad of perfectly aligned colorful shapes, but step back and the iconic faces materialize.

What a great work of art is this. You can really see the face of Marilyn Monroe. Recycling 150,000 Nespresso coffee capsules is just a brilliant idea. Good job. 4rx
