Exit Through The Gift Shop Project


This project was inspired by the movie Exit Through the Gift Shop and Mr. Brainwash's work. I decided to create my own version of his art that looks like a barcode. As a whole, you can see the image, but if you look closely, it just looks like a bunch of lines. I choses to use the painting Mountains at Collioure to create the image. I used selective color first to manipulate the colors in the image. Then, I used vectors to create the barcode effect. It took a lot of time, multiplying the vectors and changing the size and distance of each one, but I think it turned out pretty well. Though his "barcode art" was usually in black and white, I decided to keep mine in color because I think it is an important aspect of the painting.
