Amazing painting classics in a digital guise

"Son of Man" (Magritte)

The images of some artistic paintings are so embedded in our everyday life that even those who are not close to art are familiar with them. This type of work has already been reproduced countless times, but this time's recycling did not produce classic replicas, as it did not follow the accessories of the original author. The brushes were thus replaced by the trigger, and the canvas by the mirror. The re-creation was created with a camera and without digital 'application'.

Adaptations gained momentum in England with a student project "Remakes" Websites booooooom.com and companies Adobe, and one of the main conditions of participation was that no photographs were allowed digitally process (the exception in our gallery is only remake self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh). That's why the wisdom that good preparation is half the success came into focus here.

Original images are limited to galleries but there they often act dead on the walls, while on these versions they literally come alive. And if the processing rules were strict, it was interpretation the original can multi-layered. Thus, the multi-layered colors/coatings in the picture translated into the multi-layered visions in the photographs. Some creations are therefore literal of 'digitizing' the original, while some motifs have been transferred to more modern environment.
