One of the latest to do so isAlexandre Lavet, whose realistic beer cans have been exhibited since 2016.

The work, titledAll the good times we spent together, was being exhibited at theLAM museumin the Netherlands.

The piece looks like two empty and crushed beer cans that carelessly been left behind.

However, upon closer inspection, they are actually tiny sculptures that have been meticulously hand-painted with acrylics.

This packaging design coincides with the artists arrival in Brussels where he met new friends between 2013 and 2016.

The cans visual has been redesigned in 2017 and valuable friendships have been established from then on.

However, a mechanic who works for the museum was surprised in a different way.
