The Cardboard Guy
Under his real name Steve Armon, he has made a name for himself with his accomplished seascape and landscape paintings on canvas and limited edition prints. However, his true artistry lies in his ability to transform scraps of found cardboard into remarkable works of art. With an undeniable passion for up-cycling and recycling, The Cardboard Guy breathes new life into these discarded boxes, creating cardboard masterpieces.
His creative process is truly fascinating. The Cardboard Guy’s artistic intuition is awakened by the shapes, stickers, tape, folds, and
creases of each piece of cardboard he encounters. He carefully selects
the perfect image that harmonizes with the texture and character of his
cardboard canvas. By seamlessly merging the two elements, he crafts art
pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Described as up-cycling, recycling, retro cardboard art, The Cardboard Guy's work
embodies a sense of nostalgia and pays homage to bygone eras. Through
the clever use of memories, found bits of cardboard, acrylic paint, and
old-fashioned varnish, he captures the essence of iconic brands and
moving scenes from the past. From a classic snapshot of the movie Transporting to TV hero's Del & Rodney, The Mod Movement and The Beatles,
The Cardboard Guy's art allows us to relive cherished moments and immerse ourselves
in the magic of the past.
