75 Figures From Famous Paintings Invade Modern Day Settings, And They Fit Too Well
The Canvas Project is an art project created by Brazilian artist Gabriel Nardelli Araújo. The 28-year-old 'frees' well-known characters from classical paintings and puts them in the modern-day settings with the help of Photoshop. "The process is entirely digital, my works of art do not exist, at least so far, in physical form. It is done in Photoshop based on photos of places I visited and pictures that I had access to. Pictures of the famous paintings are made available online by the museums themselves in high-resolution files, which has greatly helped in the final quality of the digital artworks," he explained in an interview.
At first, this project was just an outlet for Gabriel, that let him create surreal images, but over time its importance changed. "I have been perceiving montages as new forms of appropriation of space and classical art. I feel like I leave an immaterial mark on that place. People who have had contact with my creative ideas and later visit the space or see the original famous artworks can have a new vision about them."

If I have seen this image elsewhere without the information, I would have believed it to be real. Little bit off, but you can blame the photographer or some camera settings for that, except that it too real.

Sad thing is that she would be cast as the unattractive woman with an unsexy figure (look at that crease in her stomach!) in any movie for the past 40 years. Completely unattractive, no possibility of an erection, according to a lot of young men. I am not saying the original artwork was just their version of a playboy centerfold, but the healthy human form is very beautiful to me, and it makes me mad thinking of how skewed are the perceptions of so many...
