Although this looks like a pixilated Photoshop image of a Jan van Eyck painting, it’s actually a tapestry of 5,024 spools of thread hung upside-down in vertical rows by the artist Devorah Sperber. An optical device in front of the piece encapsulates the van Eyck in miniature. See it at the Brooklyn Museum of Art until May 6th.

here’s an acrylic painting on canvas that i did recently. i caked on the paint, gives the process more of an oil-paint feel.
