Balloon Sculptures by Larry Moss

Vincent van Gogh used paint. Auguste Rodin worked in bronze. Larry Moss shapes air with the use of balloons. Moss's unusual art has been displayed in 12 countries on four continents. His achievements have been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Amongst his many unusual balloon sculptures, which he has termed Airigami, is a series of famous pieces of fine art recreated with latex balloons. Airigami, which translates as the fine art of folding air, and his fragile masterpieces are by far the most detailed balloon sculptures I have ever seen.
