Artist Jane Perkins Puts her Stamp on Classics


Marilyn Monroe, by Andy Warhol
Mona Lisa, by Leonardo Da Vinci
Girl with a Pearl Earring, by Johannes Vermeer
Sunflowers, by Vincent Van Gogh
Each portrait or “painting” [artist Jane Perkins] has created, when inspected close up, reveals a miniature textured world of forgotten knick-knacks, somewhat like an impressionist painting. 
By creating her work from found objects, her works not only make a strong and important statement about our mass-consumption society, they also join a long line of other awesome artists we’ve covered on Bored Panda who have also created amazing works from found or recycled objects.

I marvel at artists who can take classic pieces, and not just copy them, but rather render them with their own creative style and talent.
