Existing Prints are Rearranged into Pixelated Modern Art
Angela Rajic — November 12, 2013 — Art & Design
Artist Ed Spence has reinvented and created artwork with his innovative pixelated art design. With just a ruler, a pair of scissors, and glue, Spence has designed a whole new collection of art out of existing prints and his own photographs.
Spence's process involves cutting a portion of each print or photograph into square paper "pixels" that range from 0.1 to 1 square inch in size. The pixels are then rearranged into spectrums of color that vary depending on the particular design for the piece in question.
The resulting pixelated art pieces are eye-catching, subversive and open to a myriad of interpretations by viewers. Ed Spence's pixelated art is a bold and evocative twist on traditional photography and painting.
