Clay Sculptures replicating objects from Daily Life

Polish Artist Victor Spinski (1940 - 2013) was mostly famous for his clay sculptures.  He wanted to stretch and diversify its use, in ways it hadn't been done before.  Spinski was a very unusual character with a funny and mischievous side, which spilled over into his work.  He is said to have put one of his trash can sculptures out with the rest of the rubbish, hiding behind a bush he then saw the struggle the collector went through trying to empty it and his surprise when he accidentally smashed it.  It is amazing, how many things are perceived by us in a certain way but, when we pay more attention and we investigate more carefully, they turn out to be very different from our fist impression...
