Dissected - Dali, Van Gogh and Picasso
by DDB Brazil for the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) Art School
The artist tries to be somewhat spontaneous by not planning out every single detail of his work. Kisilevich clearly stages people and props, and then photographs and digital prints the images to show in galleries.

Dark Alley Cats by Veronika Lozovaya
Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children’s television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as “Labyrinth,” a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. In the early 1990s Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff’s nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since.
I’m not sure how I feel about this “Google Art Project”…

Portraits Made From a Single Pen Stroke
Chan Hween Chong, an art director based in Germany, has redrawn some of the world’s most famous portraits. What’s special about it, though, is that he managed to do so with a black marker drawing one giant outward spiral. An amazing accomplishment, especially considering the fact that one single error means that the entire portrait is ruined.
