REBLOG : Thanks you Nicolle :)

"Iconatomy" by George Chamoun

George Chamoun's collages are a amazingly seamless blend of two different people, from two different eras, and I feel really expose that we find to be "iconic" in a celebrities features. No morphing has been involved in these, only careful selection and cut and paste. It's a simple, interesting concept but I think it's quite eye catching and effective - I guess what we find to be appealing never really changes, does it?

My reblog is from Nicolle! I saw this and thought it was freakin awesome! I love how eye catching it is, at first the composition of the two images looks like one person or "icon" but as you look closer you realize thats its actually two different people, from two different eras. The idea behind this art is really simple, and it appears to be true that what we find attractive in celebrities stays pretty much the same throughout time. I simply love the idea behind this and the mixing of the black and white for past celebs and the colour for the ones in present really make the piece pop!

Im really glad this was posted because its something that i probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I love the mixing of old and new and this is a really cool take on celebrities, pop culture and icons.

Thanks Nicolle!
