Like the awesome moving pictures in Harry Potter and the silliness of six second Vines, this video shows what art by Van Gogh would look like if the paintings he created could move. That is, how the candles would flicker, how the shadows would be cast, how the Sun would rise, how people would move, how the smoke would blow, how the ocean would look and so much more. It’s fantastic.
Van Gogh’s is undoubtedly one of the most immediately recognizable self-portraits in the world. And it’s this familiarity with the impressionist painting that makes Lithuanian architect and photographer Tadao Cern’s digital recreation so haunting. More »
OK, I’ll admit it. I’m sort of obsessed with Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night. I just can’t get enough of the sweeping wind patterns that are prevalent in this piece of incredible art. This is one of the reasons why I’m always happy to find recreations, tributes, and reinterpretations of one of Van Gogh’s most beautiful pieces. Noah Gibbs, also known as ~SirNosh, is behind this amazing homage to The Starry Night.
It depicts what would happen if van Gogh had a bad case of Pac-Man fever. The result of his homage is pretty cool, and I like all of the details he incorporated into it – especially the swirling ghost-clouds in the middle. This should definitely be made available as prints, laptop vinyl decals, and iPhone cases. I think he’d sell quite a few.
I just hope that Noah didn’t cut off his own ear to make this.
