Using different features of the Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone as inspiration, artist Hikaru Cho created a series of mind-bending body painting art.
The unusual body paintings are confined to the face and neck, exploring themes like the phone's charging system, its edges, flat screen and the use of phones in daily life. By laying on realistic double sets of eyes and making it seem as though someone has two faces instead of just one, these conceptual paintings definitely have the effect of forcing you to look twice to confirm what you're seeing is real.
As a young artist who is still enrolled as a student at Musashino Art University in Tokyo, it's extraordinary to see Samsung partnering with Cho as an emerging artist with exceptional talent and a fresh perspective on the world.
