Remake by Booooooom

in ,

"Remake" was an open competition organized by Adobe and Booooooom portal. The idea behind was simple, participants were requested to remake famous fine art or photography masterpiece. The submissions were awesome, and now take a look at ten finalists. My favourite work is “The Ship” Salvador Dali remake by Justin Nunnink (yes, I am Dalinian).

You can vote for the best remake on Facebook

P.s. the work in a post thumbnail falls out finalist but we like it too - Rodchenko remake made by Giuseppe Roccasanta.

Cardinal Sin by Banksy

in , ,

"Banksy just placed a new sculpture, Cardinal Sin, at Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England. The piece, made in response to the child abuse scandals that the church seems to be known for these days, features a face taken off and replaced by blank bathroom tiles. Banksy noted in a statement, ":I'm never sure who deserves to be put on a pedestal or crushed under one." The sculpture sits next to religious works dated from the 17th Century." says Juxtapoze
