Vik Muniz

      When I first searched Vik Muniz, I learned that he wasn't a drawing artist but more of a visual artist.He used unsually products to replicate different These following pieces were the ones that had really stuck out to me.  

      This first image shows two different pieces of work based on only one.  The first picture is a cover of a Goya Painting called Saturn Devouring Son (the second picture).  The whole image was made by using different kinds of trash a junk.  This cover absolutely amazes me on how accurate Muniz was in replicating the painting.  The fact that he was able to find so many different objects that could actually give off such an image is so interesting to me.  My favorite part of Muniz's cover has to be the face of what looks like a giant monster.  The eyes stand out the most with the objects he had used.

      This second image has to be made my favorite piece of work by Muniz.  In this piece of work he took Da Vinci's Mona Lisa and made one image out of peanut butter and one image out of jelly.  This is absolutely incredible.  For many artists, it may seem almost impossible to even draw or paint the Mona Lisa with the usual utensils.  However, Muniz was able to make such accurate and amazing replicates.  I like that he is able to use different objects other than paint and pencils in his art.  It makes the art more interesting and fun to look at.

       This final piece of work by Muniz is made by our everyday food of spaghetti.  This piece of art is suppose to depict the famous Medusa.  It is so amazing how real the face of Medusa really looks and how clever it was of Muniz to use the spaghetti to depict her crazy snake hair.  The eyes and mouth look so clear and real.
      Vik Muniz is a very unique and interesting artist.  I like that all his work is somewhat different, yet each holds the similarity of being made by odd objects such as food or trash.
