Egg Crate Art

Dutch artist Enno De Kroon paints portraits on cardboard egg crates, a technique he calls 'eggcubism'. He views the cartons as 2 and 1/2 dimensional as the cups on the cartons obliterate certain angles of the viewer from every point so the painting becomes completely interactive with the viewer. The obscured areas from the cups make the paintings appear incomplete and leave it up to the viewer’s mind to fill in the missing areas.

    Now, how would someone even think to do that? Those are awesome. I thought the one guy was winking at first and had to look twice. I love the sticking out tongue lady.

    Okay, for me this falls into the "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" category. I'm not feeling the love on these. Sorry.
