Beautiful patterns and designs carved into used car tires by Wim Delvoye.
Detailed carvings were made by hand using sharp knives. Belgian artist transforms new and recycled rubber tires into unique works of art.

Really really pretty… and it’s still a tire sitting in your living room like a redneck.

Incredible.
The biggest drawback – other than the whole thing Gert mentioned – is, it still smells like a tire.

Shame he uses new tires instead of recycling used tires.

I thought about Oreos right away too :)
I think if they were to spray paint them gold, white or silver they would look more beautiful and less “tire-y”
I love the designs though. Beautiful work.

These tires are really a work of art, and I think they would be beautiful also painted a solid color and made into pieces of furniture. Two or three stacked with a round glass table top would be gorgeous.Also a metal leg base on one tire with a glass top, would be stunning.Must be very labor intensive,keep up the great work.

I would like to try this can you give me any pointers on how to start and what kind or knives you use. I though all tires had metal in them..Do you use a particular brand?
I love your work –very creative
