Starry Night, Vincent Van Gogh (1889)
An excellent series of self-portraits by young photographer Andy Alcala, which consists of face paintings based on the works of iconic artists, creating a smashing response in the art community.
In a series he calls “Face Artists”, he has repainted famous paintings on his own face in a fantastic display. “This series of images was created to show art at face value, It was also a way to put a face to the artists of many of the famous works of art that have been made. I’ve had to take a few art history courses during my time in college so I figured I would use the past as part of my future.” – Andy Alcala

Wow, what a great idea! Thanks for the like on my page, as you know from reading that I’m working at an Art Gallery this summer and this is such a cool thing to see in that context. All the best, I’ll definitely be following this blog!
An extremely innovative series. Super!
These are amazing. So many colours, so much vibrancy, and what a patient model for having their face painted so many times.

putting a face to the art….
This is quite brilliant. Very inspiring, at first it seems like a mess of paint on the face, but then you have to pause and really look at it, and girl with a balloon is my favorite.

Cool idea…but no Duchamp or Braque
I guess Pablo’s close enough, but he’s just Mr Popularity isn’t he?
I am taking a course and learning this, because we celebrate Carnival and every year people try to do something more outrageous including me
