Video Game Paintings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Artist Ronan Lynam Brings a Classical Touch to Pop Culture Characters

— July 24, 2014 — Pop Culture
These video game paintings give iconic pop culture characters a classical touch. Part surreal, part abstract and entirely artistic, the images he creates pay tribute to such icons as Super Mario, Bowzer and Ghost in a stunning way. Fans of such pastimes will love to hang one of these masterpieces in their living room, perhaps even over the television.

The video game paintings were created by Ronan Lynam, an American illustrator living in Philadelphia. Full of detail as well as whimsical brush strokes, the artworks are as vibrant as one would expect when playing the video games. Although there have been many interpretations of such characters before, this is one of the most masterful and creative.
Trend Themes
1. Pop Culture Art - Creating classical paintings based on popular culture icons presents an opportunity for artists to showcase their creativity and skill in modern pop art.
2. Surrealist Art - Surrealist art influences, combined with modern pop culture, present opportunities for artists to create unique and imaginative works of art.
3. Nostalgic Art - Nostalgia in art can create interest and emotional connections with the audience, making it a valuable opportunity for artists to tap into.
Industry Implications
1. Fine Art - Fine art galleries and museums can tap into the growing popularity of pop culture and surrealism to attract younger audiences and expand their collections.
2. Entertainment - Video game companies and studios can collaborate with artists to create unique and collectible art pieces that appeal to fans of their games and franchises.
3. Home Decor - Home decor companies can create and market art pieces that tap into pop culture nostalgia, offering customers unique and personalized ways to decorate their living spaces.
