Art is relative. One picture can be admired by one person and completely displeased by another. In particular, the famous "Mona Lisa" seems quite scary to many, and Rubens' ladies are overweight, and modern society would certainly put them on a diet. Whatever it was, but the art galleries are covered with all kinds of canvases that evoke a variety of emotions in the viewer. The artist Nicholas Mottla Jacobsen decided to demonstrate what the world's masterpieces would look like in the hands of a modern designer armed with computer graphics programs. What came of this can be seen in our review.

A merciless hand began to correct some of the pictures. Some are broken into color elements. Some canvases have undergone ruthless intervention at all, having changed beyond recognition.

Contemporary representation of classical painting

Whether this is an original approach to classical painting or a manifestation of disrespect for famous artists - everyone decides for himself. But the fact that the works look quite original is a fact.

Nicholas Mottla Jacobsen himself urges not to take his work too seriously, since all the converted paintings are just another way to treat art with humor. A similar technique was used in his work by the shocking artist Dave Pollot, who introduced UFO plates, Darth Vader's ship and ruthless robots walking the peaceful streets into all old canvases. The result turned out to be rather comical, but true connoisseurs of art perceive such an interpretation of famous paintings as a mockery of classical painting.

And often they have such defects of the body, which some are even ready to call "ugliness". It's all about the ability to "present yourself", appear in a winning light and make a "highlight" a non-standard appearance. Moreover, foreign stars are more tolerant of their little problems and speak frankly about them

Eastern European Sushi: Sushi with an Eastern European twist. Art project of the studio Clinic 212

The crazy popularity of such Asian fast food as sushi, rolls and other maki has gradually led to the fact that restaurants (such as) Japanese cuisine are opened in almost every village, not to mention megacities or cultural and historical centers. Moreover, those dishes that are called real Japanese cuisine on the menu are in fact an imitation, a parody of what the Japanese call "rolls". However, our traditional dishes have certainly undergone no less changes in Asian restaurants

Traditional Chinese painting with a modern twist. Fine paintings by Kim Xu

If artists painted not with paints, but with notes, and could create not pictures, but music, Chinese artist Kim Xu would be the author of amazing compositions that are easy to recognize among hundreds of others. The traditional sounding of his melodies is successfully combined with their modern arrangement, and as a result, national Chinese creativity not only does not get lost against the background of Western and European, but also significantly wins
