Upcycled thrift store paintings are full of artsy-fartsy goodness (25 Photos)
Meet artist, David Irvine. If you haven’t seen the trend going around lately, the internet is all about upcycled thrift store paintings. It’s a simple enough concept. David just happens to be one of the best at adding his personal touch to an existing portrait.
The contrast with painting a modern subject over top of a classical background is incredibly eye-catching. Irvine tends to use pop-culture references in most of his upcycles.
But again, he is just one of many folks out there trying their hand at this new style of painting. The great part about this is you could easily try it at home. Enjoy these amusing works of art!
