Famous faces in a crowd: Intricate artworks see big screen stars recreated in paintings of dozens of tiny figures

At first glance these celebrity portraits appear to have been created from aerial photographs of dozens of people.

But a closer examination of this series, by Atlanta-based artist Craig Alan, reveals that the tiny figures were actually painted into place.

Mr Alan, 40, has created paintings of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Elvis Presley, as well as the Statue of Liberty, with his realist technique.


Small people, big star: This portrait of Marilyn Monroe by Atlanta-based artist Craig Alan may look like an aerial photo, but is actually created with dozens of tiny painted figures


Flight of fancy: Mr Alan's series, which includes a second piece featuring Monroe, was inspired by some photographs he had been taking from a sixth-floor balcony

The intricate paintings are predominantly black-and-white, with just a flash of red in the lips of the Monroe and Hepburn pieces.

His painstaking efforts are well-rewarded though - a single piece from the 'Populous' series can sell for up to $50,000.

The artist says he first came up with the idea after after taking photos of the street from the sixth floor of an apartment block.

Devil in the detail: The Elvis Presley piece shows the late music legend's face recreated with hundreds of tiny figures. Each has its own shadow making the photographic effect even more convincing

'I was at my mother's apartment in Alabama watching people on the beach from the sixth story balcony,' he explained.

'I started photographing them and then I noticed a pattern through the camera.

'In one shot, the group of people appeared to have formed an eye on the screen - this started my creative wheels turning.'

Mr Alan says the decision to recreate familiar celebrity faces was an easy one.

'Portraits always came easily to me, so it was only natural that the two should be combined,' he said.
And the positive response to the works has been a thrill.

It’s rewarding for me as an artist to watch people’s reaction to my work and to see them get such enjoyment out of it,' he added.

         今年是美国女星玛丽莲梦露(Marilyn Monroe)逝世50周年。由于梦露是不世出的性感女神,因此她生前未曾曝光的许多珍贵照片,成为人们热议的话题。


 上面一组由真人构成的玛丽莲梦露的性感图像这是美国艺术家Craig Alan的绘画作品,其特别之处在于,画面是由真人组成的。创作这组绘画的灵感是因为Alan在高楼上向下拍照时,发现地面上行走的人不时能构成各种特别的画面,于是,他决定对这些画面稍作加工,最后营造出了上面这些美貌性感明星的画面。对于参与到画面中的行人来说,这也是特别有趣的一次经历。
