Artist Repurposes and Enhances Thrift Art Oil Paintings Into Hilarious Parodies
New York-based artist David Pollot
rejuvenates vintage, thrift shop paintings by inserting famous pop
culture characters. Featuring the familiar faces in Star Wars, The
Simpsons, and Super Mario among many other beloved characters Irvine
skillfully mimics the style of the original artist or contradicts it for
irony.
Pollot admits to having a short attention span, and says,
“Repurposing old thrift art has become something of an answer to this
problem. I take abandoned prints and paintings found at thrift stores
and garage sales and carefully use oil paints to make new additions into
the old pieces. Part of the challenge is not only taking some piece of
pop culture and putting it into a place where it might not belong, but
also making it blend in so well that it actually seems that it belongs.”
