Concealed Emoji Classical Paintings

These Famous Works of Art Feature Hidden Smartphone Graphics

— November 14, 2015 — Pop Culture
While these classical paintings done by famous artists throughout the Renaissance period might seem familiar to the viewer, at closer inspection they will quickly realize that each artwork features a hidden modern day emoji embedded into the painting. These revamped works are designed by an artist known under the pseudonym Edvard Emoji and they cleverly merge together antiquated and new age forms of expression.

As emojis have become a visual language used by many on a daily basis, seeing them integrated into classical oil paintings creates a stark contrast between the two time periods. Edvard Emoji has creatively hidden an emoji in each of the famous works including slices of pizza, glasses of wine, party hats and purses that viewers can have fun trying to spot.
Trend Themes
1. Concealed Emoji Art - The integration of modern emojis into classical paintings presents an opportunity for artists to create unique and captivating works that bridge the gap between traditional and digital art.
2. Visual Language Fusion - The juxtaposition of classical paintings and modern emojis showcases the potential for the merging of ancient and contemporary visual languages, allowing for innovative forms of artistic expression.
3. Interactive Art Experience - The inclusion of hidden emojis in famous artworks adds an interactive element to the viewing experience, opening up possibilities for immersive art installations and augmented reality experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - The integration of emojis into classical paintings presents an innovative opportunity for artists, art galleries, and museums to engage with a digital-savvy audience and create unique art experiences.
2. Digital Media - The fusion of classical art and modern emojis offers digital media companies an opportunity to create engaging visual content, interactive platforms, and virtual galleries that appeal to a wide range of audiences.
3. Marketing and Advertising - The use of concealed emojis in famous paintings can be utilized by marketing and advertising agencies to create attention-grabbing campaigns, sparking conversations, and leveraging nostalgia to connect with consumers.
