Van Gogh Mini 2016 By Nick Smith

Pioneering contemporary artist Nick Smith works in the most unlikely of mediums: using only the humble Colour Chip swatch and clever colour theory, Smith recreates iconic artworks, from Warhol's Marilyn to Hockney's 'Bigger Spash'. 'Van Gogh' is a limited edition, reduced size print of Smith's 2014 original, which reimagines the iconic 1889 self portrait of the Dutch Post-Impressionist, using little squares of colour swatches, each one with a descriptive name associated to the tone, from Labrador to Guacamole. Smith's ability to capture the original using only colour blocks is truly remarkable and the juxtaposition of past and present, through the use of digital technique, marks a turning point in contemporary art practice. With a stylised Pop-Art aesthetic, loaded with the same conceptual depth and innovation of technique, Smith is surely the Warhol of our time. Click the banner to get it at ONLY: USD145.00
