Thousands of brush strokes went into the original masterpieces, but one artist has reproduced some of the world's most famous paintings with just one line.Designer Chan Hwee Chong creates spiral illustrations inspired by some of the most popular masterpieces in history.The Singaporean artist's work is so precise that if he makes a single mistake he starts all over again.He has recreated Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Van Gogh's self-portrait and Johannes Vermeer's the Girl with the Pearl Earring in his own unique style. 成千上万的笔画可以构成一幅原创杰作，但是有一个作家只用一根线条就创作出了几幅世界名画。设计师Chan Hwee Chong受历史上最著名的几幅杰作启发，创造了螺旋线绘画。这位新加坡艺术家的作品精确到如果出了一个错误，就得重新来过。他已经用他自己独特的方式，重塑了达芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》，梵高的自画像以及维梅尔的《戴珍珠耳环的少女》。 The 33-year-old father-of-two said: “Essentially, the brief was to show the precision and control of the pens.Right from start, we asked ourselves, is there an idea that can bring to life the promise of these pens in a simple, powerful way?Inspired by line-art drawings, we thought we could demonstrate ‘precision and control’ in a simple idea that involved only one single line.”He likened putting together the spectacular drawings with a spider spinning a web.Mr Hwee Chong added: “It wasn't as easy as we thought. We went through many rounds of trial and error, painstaking drawing the masterpieces in one controlled line, by hand.As you can imagine, every mistake meant we need to start all over again. This project not only involved skill but lots of resilience and patience, much like a spider spinning its web.” |
