Artist Turns Classical Works Of Art Into Geeky Paintings With Pop Culture Characters

Meet Andrea Tamme , a digital artist from Canada, who came up with the most unusual and fascinating idea to take classical works of art and reimagine them using modern pop culture characters from movies and TV shows. Sounds interesting? You bet! We’ve seen these paintings, we love them, but now it’s time to fall in love with them even more. The artist incorporates equally popular modern characters like Sailor Moon and Rick and Morty, mixing old and new in a geeky and unpredictable way.

Rick and Morty – The Scream by Edvard Munch
If you’ve watched at least a few episodes of Rick and Morty you know just how genius this reimagined work of art is. This would be Morty’s expression most of the time! The original was created by Edvard Munch and depicted a fit of anxiety. Very fitting for Rick and Morty!

Link and Princess Zelda – The Accolade by Edmund Leighton
Link and Princess Zelda fit perfectly into the subject of chivalry chosen by Edmund Leighton for the original painting from a romantic medieval series. It was the time of knights, damsels in distress, kings, queens, and beautiful gestures. Zelda fans were probably ecstatic!

Chu Totoro – Woman with a Parasol by Claude Monet
The airy atmosphere of Claude Monet’s original painting goes incredibly well with light-filled style of Hayao Miyazaki and his cute characters. It’s a match made in heaven and we can only applaud Andrea Tamme for this choice!
