Rubik's Cube-ism?

The Rubik's Cube is a little Object designed to keep many people busy for hours (I personally get fed-up trying to match the colours, pull it apart and click each square into it's correct place).

But have you ever thought of using a Rubik's Cube as a piece of Art? ...

What if it was used as a Medium to create Masterpieces? Well, one such Organisation, called Cube Work's Studio does just that.

Cube Work's Studio is World-Renowned for twisting Rubik’s Cubes into stunning, cutting-edge works of art. The Studio is focused on pushing the boundaries of modern art by using the brightly-coloured cubes as a distinct and universally identifiable medium.

Their works include original creations, Pop-Art references, as well as a focus on some of the more identifiable Cultural Icons of our generation. Just take a look below:

'Eternal', 360 Rubik's Cubes

'Ribbon', 360 Rubik's Cubes

'Falling Apart', 440 Rubik's Cubes

'Jimi', 432 Rubik's Cubes

Cube Works Studio's Most Impressive Work:

The Hand Of God (the centerpiece of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel), recreated in Rubik's Cubes, is the largest Rubik's Cube piece of art, measuring 14′ 7″ H x 28′ 10″ W (4.27m x 8.53m) and comprises of 12'090 Rubik’s cubes. (WOW!)

So, the next time I pick up a Rubik's Cube I think I may just have a bit more respect.
