Nastya Nudnik Adds Social Media Symbols to Paintings

Juxtaposing classic fine art with ubiquitous symbols from today’s social media outlets, Ukrainian artist Nastya Nudnik presents an interesting selection of works titled “Emoji-nation.” Iconic paintings from Michael Angel and Edward Hopper have been re-appropriated with 21st century internet and App icons from the likes of iMessage, Instagram, Facebook and SoundCloud, providing humorous renditions that touch on our attachment to our smart phones and portable devices.
