Alex Guofeng is genius! Taking images from Icons and layering it with another symbolic image underneath. Look closely and you will see…
At ChinaSquare Gallery in Art Miami, pixelated images by Alex Guofeng Cao appear to be huge photographs. But look closely and you’ll see that the “pixels” are really tiny photographic images.
The portrait of President Barack Obama is made up of photos of President Abraham Lincoln; Marilyn Monroe is composed of tiny images of JFK; JFK of tiny images of Monroe. Sold opening night: An image of Carla Bruni, made up of tiny images of French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
This pixelated image of Brad Pitt has his beautiful partner Angelina Jolie discretely underneath. Once I saw got to see at close range, I instantly fell in love with the concept and the image over all!
Sexy, sultry Marilyn with John F. Kennedy. The love affair!
I think this complete collection is Brilliant and in a large scale, is quite impressive.
James Dean and Elvis – two great Icons!
