Olaf Breuning

I came across this artist when The Cool Hunter posted a picture of one of his pieces on their Facebook page. It was interesting to me because of his use of the human body as his canvas which I thought was ingenious, so, I had to find out more about him.
 The Swiss-born artist uses his work to highlight the pop culture of our times and to reference to great artists of our past
For all the art lovers out there, some of his pieces will seem oddly familiar, and that's because he based some of his pieces on the popular works of some of the greats; the Pollack, Picasso, Warhol, etc.
 It's as if he dipped his subjects into the works and hung them out to dry! 
I think that the human body is a work of art in itself. For someone to see that and think to use it as a medium; to apply the 2-D in 3-D form, it's awesome.

Picasso Inspired
Pollack Inspired
Warhol Inspired
and this one.....I really like
