Sergio Silva uses reclaimed incandescent bulbs to create that which they were meant to replace, or to “send the bulbs back in time.” The Oyule lamps (sound it out) are gutted and filled with paraffin fuel, a magnet is also placed in the bottom of the bulb so that it will be secured to the base plate. The construction of the Oyule lamps took particular care and skill (not your typical DIY).

    These lamps are a wonderful blend of art and recycling! It’s interesting to see how the green movement is working its way into the world of contemporary art and sculpture. If only people would replace their real incandescent bulbs with these (or energy-saving flourescents, for that matter), there would be a lot less fossil fuel wasted in this country. However, I never would have guessed that these would sell for $650! Maybe I’ll wait to catch one at a garage sale in a few years. ;)
