A plastic bottle painted in a field: new work by artist Saype

As the 'Reuters' news agency reported a few days ago, a drawing of a gigantic crumpled plastic bottle appeared near the shore of Lake Geneva in Parc Louis-Bourget in Lausanne, Switzerland.

This is not the act of a madman, but a new work by a Swiss-French artist, Guillaume Legros, known by his stage name 'Saype', using a mixture of plaster, charcoal, milk protein and water.

This new artwork aims to reflect on the phenomenon of 'littering', i.e. the abandonment of waste, which often affects lakeside parks during the summer months, when crowds gather to enjoy the warm weather.

Saype (17 February 1989, Belfort, France) is a contemporary artist. He owes his international reputation to the creation of giant, ultra-realistic works of art (mainly paintings and drawings) in nature, made using a biodegradable paint that he invented. In 2019, 'Forbes' magazine listed him among the 30 most influential people under 30 in the field of art and culture.
