In celebration of the Samsung S6 edge smartphone launching on O2, a special free-to-the-public art exhibition called 'Edge of the Canvas' is now open for two weeks in the UK.
If you've ever wondered what's going on just beyond the frame of iconic paintings like American Gothic, Vincent Van Gogh's Self Portrait and Girl with a Pearl Earring, these remixed paintings commissioned by O2 show what might be going on in modern times. One of the most humorous imagines The Scream as a reaction to Zayn leaving One Direction.
By reconnecting the public with classic works of art they thought they were familiar with, this exhibit cleverly compares the experience to being able to see more on the Samsung S6 edge—which has a 5.1 screen and a pixel density of 557 pixels per inch.
