Leaky spoon, bottle of °nie and the rabbit (a la Juan Gris)

This week we decided to go wild, cubism wild.

Juan Gris - one of the greatest artist of his time often placed together with Picasso. He was born in Spain and studied to be engineer designer or draftsman. His life changed once he moved to Paris (Paris, Paris how many young souls you spoiled, remember Van Gogh). Here he follows his "teacher to be" Picasso and co-starts the cubism movement.

We have made a collage: old newspaper, acrylic paint, white rabbit and a bottle of °nie. The result is the best picture in the series (so far):

The concept this time was pretty simple: a guy, a girl and a gun - what's not to love; on the technical level it had to be acrylic paint and benday dots:
