Cantor Fine Art has created artist-inspired emojis for art lovers to use on social media. The Los Angeles based art gallery asked its fans what artists they wished to see in emoji form and this series is just the beginning for the art gallery.
The artist emoji collection features artists like Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali. The collection also reflects some of the artist's art styles. Since no one is sure what the street artist Banksy looks like, the art gallery made his emoji an emoji version of his 'Balloon Girl' artwork. The art gallery also represented Rene Magritte with an emoji version of his famous 'The Son of Man' painting. The most comical of the emojis is the one for Vincent van Gogh, who is portrayed with a bandage around his head and his cut off ear in front of him. Cantor Fine Art is still looking for fan requests to continue adding more artist-inspired emojis to its collection.
