Found Objects Become Van Gogh, Dali

Salvador Dali with a shark nose… Van Gogh’s hat made from old paint bottles… This was quite clever and creative and left me speechless. Too cool!
Unfortunately the image sources had no information,
but my guess is that Dali would approve. Van Gogh? You never know.
BTW. Dali’s birth name was Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech. His older brother was named Salvador as well. I guess if you like a name, why not use it on all the kids.
Vincent must be the most postmortem-diagnosed artist! Poor guy, everyone has a theory as to why he cut off his ear (just the left lobe actually) and why he committed suicide. Was it Absinthe? Lead Poisoning? Schizophrenia? Bipolar?
Someone did an amazing job recreating him in this image. I would like to know more about this image, but I just don’t know where it originates. Any ideas out there?

Both pieces are actually the work of Bernard Pras.
Salvador was Dali’s DEAD brother’s name. He wasn’t named Salvador concurrently with him. His parents idolized the dead first child giving Dali a lot to live up to. Not to mention that whenever he was sick it caused fear and panic in the household. Death always lingered over his head due to taboo. Most of the symbols in his paintings represented death to him, or pre-birth due to the fact he remembered being in the womb.
If I’m not mistaken its the photography of constructed still life by the scottish artist Calum Colvin.
I am guessing that you are right. I wasn’t sure when I had first posted it. Here is a link to his site: http://www.calumcolvin.com/
