In the dimly lit gallery, amidst a sea of artistry, stands an enigmatic masterpiece that captivates the gaze and ignites the imagination – “Georgey Boy 2.0." Crafted by the deft hands of a visionary sculptor, this unparalleled work of art transcends the boundaries of convention, inviting viewers into a realm where creativity knows no bounds.

At its core, “Georgey Boy 2.0" is a testament to the symbiosis of nature and innovation, embodied in the form of a meticulously hand-sculpted ape's visage. Yet, what sets this sculpture apart from the mundane is the fusion of unexpected elements – a bespoke astronaut's helmet, meticulously adorned with 15,000 miniature nails, intricately woven with 600 meters of wire, and sealed with 200 liters of epoxy resin.

As one approaches, the craftsmanship becomes apparent; each nail painstakingly placed, each strand of wire delicately intertwined, forming a cosmic tapestry that encapsulates the essence of exploration and curiosity. The juxtaposition of the earthly primate and the celestial helmet serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's relentless quest for understanding, reaching for the stars while rooted in the soil.

The tactile allure of “Georgey Boy 2.0" beckons the observer to explore further, to touch and feel the texture of resin, wire, and metal, each telling a story of dedication and craftsmanship. Its rarity, with only one existence in the entire world, elevates its status to that of a coveted treasure, sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

In a world inundated with mass-produced replicas, “Georgey Boy 2.0" stands as a beacon of individuality, a testament to the boundless creativity that resides within the human spirit. It serves as a reminder that true artistry knows no limits, transcending time and space to leave an indelible mark on the collective consciousness of humanity.

Presentation

Stringometry Art studio was created in 2019 by artist Ben Koracevic after discovering the unusual medium of String Art in a video. Instantly, he was hooked. Always one to find enjoyment in creating and coupled with his vast experience working with various metals, woods, carbon fibre, fibreglass, epoxy resins and fillers, he seized a new challenge to reinvent the world of string art.


This new challenge soon became an obsession that evolved into a love affair over the months that followed. Whilst working a full-time job and completing his Degree in Science in his spare time, Ben somehow found another 30+ hours a week to practice and experiment with different nails and a variety of strings.


Naturally when a passion consumes your life, you want more, so in August of 2019 he made the  decision to quit his day job, cash in his life savings and pursue his true calling as an artist. This change empowered him to spend 70+ hours a week in his studio, honing his craft, perfecting  techniques and began to create something truly exquisite.


Less than two years later Ben's artwork has been displayed in exhibitions across London and has been received with incredible admiration and respect for the unique nature of his work. Stringometry Art Studio has sold his works across the world in three continents and is committed to support Ben as he pushes the boundaries of this rare art form.


In Ben's words “art is a universal language where the work does all the talking, I hope mine speaks for itself."
