可以吃的蒙娜麗莎:用小熊糖創造的世界名畫
Through the ages, artists have created pictures in many different ways - but Johannes Cordes has had sweet success with a very unusual technique. He uses gummy bears as an art medium.
一直以來藝術家們用不同的方式作畫,但Johannes Cordes以一個非常特殊的方式收穫了甜蜜的成功。他用小熊糖作畫。From portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Mona Lisa to JFK, the 57-year-old from Germany, uses thousands of the gelatinous treats to make his colourful masterpieces.
從瑪麗蓮夢露到蒙娜麗莎,再到肯尼迪,這個57歲的德國人用膠狀糖成就了他多姿多彩的畫作。A fan of pop art, he has recreated works by Andy Warhol, as well as those done by the masters. Each portrait takes from 100 to 240 hours to complete - and if that was not painstaking enough, Mr Cordes also has to resist the temptation to gorge on the candy.
作爲一個波普藝術的追隨者,他重新創作了安迪-沃霍爾(波普藝術之父)及其他大師的名作。創作每幅畫都要花費100到240個小時,如果這還不夠辛苦的話,他還得忍受糖果誘惑的煎熬。
He's used millions of gummy bears so far in his work and gets through around three tons of them a year which equates to 200 bags a version of Warhol's Monroe required 3,200 bears alone.
到目前爲止,他已經用掉幾百萬個小熊糖約合每年三噸,每週200包。僅僅創作沃霍爾版的夢露就用掉了3200個糖果。Due to Haribo's limited range of six colours, he has even devised his own technique of coating them in various shades, and preserving them.
因爲Haribo只有六種顏色,他甚至還發明瞭自己塗色技術,並且把糖果做成不同的形狀保存。
