LVMH - Louis Vuitton

Yuken Teruya, (born 1973 in Onikawa) is an artist based in New York City.
Louis Vuitton
14.5 x 40 x 33.5 cm
He works in a variety of media and often references consumer culture alongside traditional craft techniques.
An example of his art is the series of McDonald's and high-end designer store bags into which Teruya cuts intricate tree shapes that are then pushed through into the interior of the bag, creating an enclosed environment within.
Teruya creates a beautiful scene inside a bag, and that is very fascinating, the cut out of the top makes the tree reflect of the sides of the bag making it look like a small park in Japan.
Using different bags with different colours can create a lovely atmosphere, for example this one particularly looks like a scene in Autumn, orange, brown and yellow are Autumn colours.
Teruya has many other artworks that are similar and used with recycled materials.
