He might not be the first artist to think of the idea, but we find Guillaume Colomb’s mash-ups of classic paintings with video game characters — which is his response to the great “video games as art” debate — thoroughly amusing. While the project doesn’t exactly provide the viewer with a clear answer, the Photoshop work is well executed; you’ll likely be surprised by how at home Mario, Pac-Man, and Princess Peach look hanging out in these masterpieces.
