Elena Bulatova Fine Art
understands that true art is both a
thing of beauty and something
which holds the power to make us
think differently and reconsider
familiar images.
That's why the fine art gallery and
dealer located in Las Vegas,
Nevada, have acquired California-
based Israeli artist Efi Mashiah's
most recent collection, titled
'Pennies'.
The collection, which is now
available to interested buyers,
features large scaled
representations of iconic faces
comprised entirely of pennies.
The release of Efi Mashiah's new
collection, a collection which makes
characteristic use of recycled
materials, coincides with the peak in
popularity of the recycled art
movement that has been witnessed
during 2021.
As the commentary presented by the
movement on the waste associated with late
capitalism has become increasingly relevant
throughout this challenging year, Efi Mashiah
hopes to bring to light the enduring value of an
item which is often overlooked, and is now in
many ways considered defunct.
His appropriation of an everyday or
found item also signals the kind of
quotidian beauty which we often
miss in a society fixated on the
consumption and quick disposal of
new things.
Mashiah’s penny artworks reveal
themselves differently as you change
perspective. From afar they present an
image of singular clarity, but on closer
inspection they offer a level of intricate
nuance and detail held by each single
penny.
Amongst the range of famous
faces which the artist has
recreated is Marilyn Monroe,
Elvis Presley, Twiggy, John
Lennon and Mona Lisa.
Mashiah has been a practicing
artist and designer for more
than 20 years and he has been
exhibiting with Elena Bulatova
Fine Art for many of those
years. 
He said of his latest collection and
his raison d’être as an artist: “My
artwork is a tribute to ordinary
American families and the blue-
collar work ethic that binds the
heart of the United States.”
