Starry Night is one of Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings, and one of the most beloved sources of inspiration for contemporary artists. Another replica of this great work of painting was created by an artist known under the pseudonym Flippycat … Moreover, it is made of … dominoes. In recent years, the popular all over the world entertainment of creating figures from dominoes and their subsequent destruction has become a real art. FlippyCat is one of the best craftsmen doing it. He mastered the domino effect on a solid A plus. And the next work of this author, created from knuckles, was a copy of Vag Gog's painting "Starry Night".
The very meaning of the existence of paintings from dominoes is that then they will be beautifully and effectively destroyed. Therefore, making them, the artists keep in mind the need to create a "domino effect", when one knuckle, having fallen, touches the other, and that the next.
So "Starry Night" by FlippyCat was created so that each knuckle was a kind of "pixel" of the future picture. In total, when working on this work of fine art, the author used 7067 elements.
However, in the "assembled" state, FlippyCat got only a rough version of the picture. And a casual viewer, even familiar with the work of Vincent Van Gogh, would hardly have recognized in this jumble of knuckles a copy of the great master's canvas. But it was only necessary for the dominant artist to fill up all these elements, and the picture acquired the look provided by the author.
FlippyCat took about eleven hours of work to create this unusual painting. And this is only for its final version. The fact is that the first attempt to draw "Starry Night" with the help of dominoes ended in failure - the author accidentally touched one of the elements and the whole work collapsed in a matter of seconds.
