Prototype Mail Box Danny Cortes

Danny Cortes is an artist from the Bushwick neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York. His work is influenced by his childhood and the 90s in New York. He creates miniature models that bring the city's urban landscape to life. Danny's interest in miniature models began in his youth. While most of his peers enjoyed the launch of a new toy, Danny was intrigued by the remarkable level of detail in the building sets used by toy companies. His attention was particularly drawn to the backgrounds displayed in the advertisements and on the toy packaging. This curiosity motivated him to start creating his own miniature toys using his imagination with household objects such as cardboard, cereal boxes and glue. He began creating small-scale reproductions of normal-sized objects. Danny explored his neighbourhood, turning every walk into an opportunity to discover new ideas. Sometimes the most obscure objects can become the catalyst for a new creation, as every gum stain, sticker and rusty gate tells a story. Dilapidated facades and distressed structures are the very scenes that fuel Danny's attention to detail. The work to produce each piece is arduous and requires great precision to achieve such realism. Danny has developed techniques that can give a model an aged, worn or patinated look. He also recreates vintage advertising posters in miniature scale and graffiti art on his models. Danny's miniature models are unique collectible creations that will take you on a romantic and striking journey through New York that everyday passers-by have overlooked.
