Imagine all the famous frames painted by Vincent Van Gogh or by Michelangelo and then… transport them to real life. Too audacious? Now it’s possible. Some classic paintings have been reproduced creatively by a few very creative art lovers with photo cameras. The smart thing is that modern elements such as iphones or skates replaced old fashioned items.
It all began when booooom.com partnered with Adobe to create the Remake project, which invited students across the U.K. to recreate classical paintings with photography. According to the competition’s requirements, none of the images could be Photoshopped – “all the work here happens before you take the photo, rather than afterward.”
There is one exception to these rules – the Vincent Van Gogh remake by Tadas ?erniauskas. While it’s an excellent remake, the artist did digitally retouch the image to get the likeness right, so it doesn’t quite fit the rules.
“The creation of Adam”, by Michaelangelo
“American Gothic” by Grant Wood
“The Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dalí
“Weeping Woman” by Picasso
