Celebrating The Beauty Of Flaws - Ultraviolet Photography By Cara Phillips

Taken on the streets of New York City, the images capture willing strangers who were lured by Phillips’ “Free Portraits” sign and volunteered to be photographed under UV lights. “Her “anti-portraits” instead emphasize flaws while creating something that remains innately beautiful.”

Portraits Of People Withstanding Gale Force Winds By Tadao Cern

Haha! These are by far the most unflattering portraits you can take, but I am pretty sure you’d still want one.

Wire Mesh Portraits By Seung Mo Park

Unbelievable portraits made from Wire Mesh!

A few months ago, we introduced you to tape artist Max Zorn with his incredible layering technique used to produce astounding portraits made of packaging tape. I was absolutely blown away by his layering method and medium of choice. Equally innovative and using a similar approach, Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park creates remarkably meticulous portraits by cutting into several layers of wire mesh.

Hand Painted Portraits Made From Other Portraits

What makes these amazing are that they are completely hand done!

Though these images may seem like your average, recycled headshot of a classic star, they are, in fact, oil paintings made up of thousands of portraits of another established individual. Korean artist Kim Dong Yoo paints multidimensional portraits of iconic figures, from Michael Jackson and Madonna to John F. Kennedy and Albert Einstein, comprised of various well-known individuals. Each of the subjects that make up the primary celebrity’s portrait has some sort of connection to the larger picture, whether they be an affirming or oppositional individual.

Using the leading stars of the Oscar-winning film Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn’s visage materializes from the meticulously painted and evenly aligned, numerous Gregory Peck portraits. What’s absolutely remarkable about each of the artist’s pieces is that he hand-paints every one of the thousands of portraits that compose the overall image. There is such a steady repetition of the same picture that they appear like a series of stamps. Instead, the painter sets a grid and uses a reference copy of the portrait at his side to recreate each separate image.

The painter’s diligently executed portraits are currently on display at Hasted Kraeuleter in New York until March 24, 2012. Check out the video, below, that gives a firsthand perspective of the exhibit at its opening reception, especially if you’re not the New York area.

Drawing with Fire

These portraits were drawn with fire. There is no other medium that is cooler… or I should say, hotter.

Portraits of Strangers via Sushi Conveyor Belt

This was kind of funny, considering these portraits were captured by putting the camera on a conveyor belt. It would have been even funnier if the ending was about a man stealing said camera and running away.

I wouldn’t trust my equipment running away from me on a sushi conveyor belt.

The reactions are priceless. I’ll have the california role… and an iPhone?

The Art of Oleg Duryagin

These really move me.

It’s something about the minimalism combined with portraiture and architectural influences. It’s still under-shadowed by the apparent emotion showcased through his work.
