creating harmony between two worlds using texture, form, and color a tribiute to classic art and classic senakers. What I liked most about the paintings are the intense amount of detail and texture they hold and I thought it would be interesting to take micro portions of the painting to recreate some of my favorite skate shoes and sneakers with. Matching the shoes with the painting was done through context of the painting or color-way of the shoe. For example I combined the painting of Napoleon Crossing The Alps (Jacques Louis David) with the Nike Air Yeezy 2 because of connotations both Napoleon and Kanye bring, (or at least at the time of his last album). For some of the shoes I tried to replicate some existing color-ways, and for the others I created my own. Lastly, I thought it would be interesting to superimpose these shoes back into the painting to see if the shoe would fit.
