Digital Artist Recreates Famous Melting Paintings

Lots of paintings are pretty static when you look at it: they just hang on a wall, waiting for someone to pass and gaze at them.

He decided he’d turn them into melting paintings, like if you’d leave them in the sun for too long.

The Vienna-based artist reworks masterpieces by Van Gogh, Munch, Dali and Magritte – among others.
