Pria Ini Buat Karya Seni dari Tutup Botol Minuman, 6 Hasilnya Menakjubkan

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Karier John Taylor-Lehman berubah drastis dari seorang guru IPA menjadi seniman tanpa latar belakang khusus. Pria asal Ohio, Amerika itu berhasil membuat puluhan mozaik bergambar hewan, tumbuhan, hingga wajah manusia dengan hanya bermodalkan bekas tutup botol minuman.

Bahkan, beberapa karya John Taylor-Lehman dipajang di galeri seni, museum, hingga pertokoan di kota Zanesville, Ohio. Tak hanya dipajang, John juga meraup keuntungan dari hasil penjualan karyanya.

Terlepas dari kesuksesannya di dunia seni, mantan guru tersebut mengaku tak pandai menggambar. Namun, John mengungkapkan bahwa dirinya ingin berekspresi layaknya seniman pada umumnya. Alhasil, John terinspirasi memanfaatkan tutup botol minuman bekas dari berbagai merek sebagai bahan utamanya.

Lebih kerennya lagi, karyanya yang unik bahkan dilirik oleh istri Gubernur Ohio, Karen Kasich. John Taylor terpilih menjadi salah satu seniman berbakat dalam acara bertajuk Spotlight yang digelar di kediaman sang gubernur.

Penasaran seperti apa karya John Taylor-Lehman dari tutup botol minuman bekas? Selengkapnya, berikut Liputan6.com sajikan 6 potretnya seperti yang telah dihimpun dari akun Instagram @johnsbeercapart, Senin (22/7/2019).
