Awesome Paintings

(PG-13: Gore) Roberto Diaz calls his portfolio “Arte del Caos” (art of chaos). But we think he’s being rather humble. His mixed media creations – which he is proud to note are all done without the help of AI tools – are monstrous transformations of classical religious art. You can purchase some of his work as prints and posters on Society6.

The guys from Corridor Crew are usually wowing us with their visual effects work. But in this video, they took a break from creating art with computers and broke out real canvases to take a painting lesson from Bob Ross. But instead of acrylics or oils, they painted their happy little scenes with sauces and condiments. We can only imagine how the studio smelled after this.

Artist Cole Newman uses the power of physics to make large-format paintings. He starts by swinging a can of paint over a moving canvas. Different geometric patterns emerge depending on the velocity and angle of both the can and the canvas. The process does make quite a mess on the floor, but the result is worth it.

Cariuma’s four low-top sneakers sporting classic Van Gogh paintings are masterpieces for your feet.

Artist Paul Kenton paints colorful modern cityscapes.
