In this humorous series of self-portraits, american artist ED WHEELER, steps into classic
masterworks of art dressed as the iconic
Santa Claus. paying homage to the original
paintings, ‘santa classics’ offers art lovers a twist and an additional reason
to smile during the silly season. after researching the works of the masters,
wheeler felt certain compositions beckoned for a ‘santa intervention’.
embarking on a multi-step process to fully integrate the jolly red figure into
the lighting, brushstrokes and tonal values of the painting, the famous images
are reinterpreted.
L’ironia e la creatività
con cui Ed Wheeler affronta
le opere dei grandi maestri non può che far sorridere. Teniamo sempre presente
che tutte vengono affrontate con grande rispetto e in un certo senso
celebrazione dei grandi maestri, ma la grande figura rossa permea lo spazio e
si confronta con i protagonisti delle celebri pitture.
