For many creatives, blending into the background is something to be avoided.
But one photographer has found a novel way of using camouflaged knitwear to make his artwork stand out.
These astonishing pictures show various people merging into their backgrounds using perfectly matching clothing.

PING
It seems more like a gimmick that an artwork to me.
A lot of art is a gimmick. During the rennaisance, paintings were ordered by the percentage of colors so that the artists would use the more expensive colors. That’s a gimmick. Art, to me, is balance and color and line and cleverness. Some of the photography here is rather brilliant. But then I think Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup can was as much art as Andrew Wyeth.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meh
I have a simple criteria: If I could do it, it ain’t Art.
Wildlife keep running into me whenever I wear camo.
Thank you! That definitely needed to be on the thread.
If you could do and it was wonderful, I’d applaud you to the skies.
Made me think of Moulin Rouge!
Could it be the scent of deer you’re wearing?
The photo with the dog was very good.
And they said there were no military uses for knitwear.
I have always read that great art, besides requiring great skill, incorporates universal themes into the particulars it represents.
You may not agree with that definition.
I don’t care much for Warhol, but I can see why you would mention him. The artwork pictured above, and Warhol’s work share a sense of cleverness. I doubt either will stand the test of time.
That’s because the 1952 Moulin Rouge movie used Offenbach’s music! Excellent catch!
The first part is from the opera, the second part is from the 1952 movie.
Offenbach and Johann Sebastian Bach get too much attention that should go to P.D.Q. Bach.
LOL, the extent of my artistic ability is drawing stick men.
