The beauty of art is that there is nothing that its defines boundaries or rules; you can work with any media on any surface and it is art. Daniel Edlen found his niche painting portraits of American legends on original vinyl LP records using monotone acrylic paint. He’s chosen to stick with favorite artists such as Ray Charles and B.B. King but his portrait of a young Audrey Hepburn has gotten him some much deserved attention. The records are of course the artists’ and he simply mounts them on top of the cover, all of which go inside a frame. His style reminds me of Pointillism and I am impressed at how well he captures the faces of artists we all love. Check out his gallery on Flickr and his website for more information about his work and on purchasing.
