I bet you all know what I&#8217;m talking about.<br \/>\nThe author of that work that went viral is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithandstuff.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nick Smith<\/a>, an English artist, born designer, who became famous for his &#8220;pixelated&#8221; works.<\/p>\n<p>We say pixels but we could talk about mosaic tiles. In fact, <strong>Nick Smith creates collages with colors<\/strong>. He opened, a few days ago, his &#8220;Pioneers&#8221; exhibition at the London art gallery <a href=\"https:\/\/rhodescontemporaryart.com\/exhibitions\/74-pioneers-nick-smith\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rhodes Contemporary Art<\/a> (until November 28, 2020) which brings together a series of works inspired by the most famous paintings of the 20s Century American art such as those by Rothko, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Edward Hopper, Chuck Close. Among these there is also <strong>the &#8220;American Monnalisa&#8221;: &#8220;American Gothic&#8221;<\/strong> by Grant Wood (1930), perhaps the most emblematic painting of American art.<\/p>\n<p>His paintings play with a <strong>double perspective<\/strong>. You have to stand a few steps away from the painting if you want to catch the whole image, but it is only up close that they reveal their true nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The &#8220;pixels&#8221; or rather, the mosaic tiles, are actually &#8220;color chip&#8221;<\/strong>, the ones that are used by graphic designers and designers to uniquely identify colors.<br \/>\nEach color is identified by a color code and a name. <strong>This very name on the bottom of the chips adds another level of reading to the works of Nick Smith.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40150\"
