Step inside the imaginative world of sculptor and mosaic artist Kevin Champeny, known for creating thousands of tiny hand-cast urethane objects and transforming them into large-scale, mesmerizing works of art. From life size gummy bear sculptures to Donald Trump portraits made of middle fingers, Kevin’s art blurs the line between chaos and order, realism and abstraction. What starts as a joke about a giant gummy bear turns into the deepest conversation you’ll hear all week. Tom Kelly talks with mosaic artist Kevin Champeny about creating sculptures made of thousands of tiny objects — including 10,000 middle fingers forming a portrait of Trump. They talk about art, fame, defiance, surviving toxic jobs, and whether you need a fairy godfather to chase your dream.
