Pixelated Paintings and Other Modifications by André Schulze

My Modern Met introduces us to André Schulze, a painter based in Berlin who specializes in paint on canvas, often collaborating with artists who are probably unaware of their joint efforts. I gather that he purchases, for cheap, old paintings composed in Germany decades ago and then adds additional elements. His pixelated paintings are reminiscent of Jimmy Kimmel's unnecessary censorship gags.

All of these alterations change the story. There's something peaceful about flamingoes wading in the water, but also scary when they're 300 feet tall.

Schulze can blow up a picture far beyond just the canvas to include the frame and beyond. This old urban scene takes on a psychedelic ambiance with pastel colors.

Who lives in a pineapple under the seascape? We can see the exciting intersection of the human and submarine worlds in this otherwise commonplace depiction of the ocean.
