Different View of Art

Hey Everyone,
I wanted to share something interested that I came across early this evening. There is an exhibit in Beijing which debut today where Ju Duoqi, young Chinese artist, used vegetables, yes vegetables such as tofu, cabbage, and sweet potato adding a some digital manipulation to recreate some of the masterpieces we may have came across in some our museum visits.

Here is an example of the artist work (the second photo) side by side with the original painting commission by artist Eugene Delacroix.
The title of the painting is call "Liberty leading the people"

Here is the link to the article if you like to check it out.

  1. Ron,

    This is very interesting and creative using vegetables to create art. Someone sent me an email with the same tpe of art that was also very interesting and just as amazing. I'll see if I can find it and if I do, I'll post it.

  2. Thanks for the link, Ron... Now if she could do that on the scale of the original painting, that would be truly amazing!
