Art Concentration: Appropriation of Iconic Art Pt. 5

I have chosen to do a small part of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam and focused more on the most important part of the artwork: the space between God's and Adam's fingers which distinguishes the destinct role of the giver and receiver of life. I decided to mechanicalize the hands, attempting to challenge and see if it will have the same impact as 2 anatomical hands. I've carried on the technique of pixellation, and contrasted the squares by having different levels and mounted on a background similar to the original art.

Art Concentration: Appropriation of Iconic Art Pt. 4

This was the 2nd piece I did for my concentration, an appropriation of Time Transfixed by surrealist René Magritte. I explored the technique of pointillism as a way of pixellation, which ties in with the overall theme of my concentration.  In the original oil painting, a black train was jutting ut of the fireplace, and I replaced it with a robotic arm.

Art Concentration: Appropriation of Iconic Art Pt. 3

This piece is a response to Banksy's Laugh Now, But One Day We'll Be In Charge street art. There's an element of animation and I was highly inspired by post apocalyptic astronaut meets Darth Vader.

Who's Laughing Now?
