Dutch artist Ard Gelinck is doing it again. You have surely already come across the work of this artist who creates original and disconcerting works. A few months ago, we told you about it in one of our articles.
Ard Gelinck has the ability to bring together today’s celebrities with their “own”. me “from yesterday. Through a clever photo montage on Photoshop, Ard Gelinck brings together personalities of two different ages. Thanks to the staging, the tones of the colours, the light and the size of the artists, the one with nearly 184,000 followers on Instagram is still as intriguing as ever. At 45, the star artist never tires:” I’ve been posting pictures online for about 10 years. I often challenge myself to create a certain series of images, including this’before and now’ series that you now see a lot of “, he told the Bored Panda website. And indeed, Ard didn’t think he would be successful with his celebrity photomontages.
Ard also indicates that he creates his montages when the opportunity arises. For a celebrity’s birthday or for a movie release for example.
But nostalgia obliges, curiosity or simple fascination of our favourite celebrities – whether they are stars of song, television or cinema – it is clear that the recipe still works as well. It is also an opportunity for Internet users to compare today’s celebrities with their younger versions and see if they have changed.
An intriguing but clever exercise that shows the evolution of celebrities in one photo over the years.
Here is a small selection of the personalities in pictures.
