Creative DIY from scraps and debris to piece together famous paintings and celebrity portraits

Using cow horns as Dalis beard is so creative! And if you look closely, you can see not only the horns, but also various home decorations such as tiger head sculptures, pianos, clocks, and oil paintings. French artist Bernard Pras uses many second-hand and discarded debris as creative materials to piece together famous paintings and celebrity portraits. But if you want to discover the wonders of these works, you can’t look at them from the front, but you have to look at them from another angle~

Hey~ Why did Dali’s face collapse!

It turns out that most of Pras' replicas of famous paintings and celebrity works cleverly use overlap to create illusions, so that items evenly distributed in every corner of the space will look like paintings from a specific angle. It is quite difficult for most people to complete such a delicate work on a flat surface. Unexpectedly, it can also turn a three-dimensional object into a flat surface, confusing everyones sense of space and making artistic creation more interesting.

And noIts just a three-dimensional transformation into a flat surface. Artists who like to play with the sense of space also use towels to create false three-dimensional and true plane portraits of Jesus. Its very different when you look at it from another angle! Pras doesn't carefully select the materials for creation, and just gives him a pile of debris. It is possible to create very novel and interesting works, but of course this requires a long period of planning, consideration and creative adjustments.
