Artist Wraps Entire Rooms In Vibrant Modernist Paintings



Juan Gris Study



Can you imagine living in a house in which the entire interior is covered with a painting from your favorite Modernist artist?



Montreal-based Canadian digital artist Jon Rafman, whom we have previously featured, has an ongoing project entitled ‘Brand New Paint Job’ in which he wraps 3D model rooms with paintings from the likes of Claude Monet and Georgia O’Keefe.



He wants us to think about the definition of art in our modern age. He said, “Historically, the greatest fear of the painter was that his work would become design objects. Now it’s common for contemporary artists to take inspiration from commercial visual culture.”
