一直以来艺术家们用不同的方式作画,但Johannes Cordes以一个非常特殊的方式收获了甜蜜的成功。他用小熊糖作画。
Through the ages, artists have created pictures in many different ways - but Johannes Cordes has had sweet success with a very unusual technique. He uses gummy bears as an art medium.
从玛丽莲梦露到蒙娜丽莎,再到肯尼迪,这个57岁的德国人用胶状糖成就了他多姿多彩的画作。
From portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Mona Lisa to JFK, the 57-year-old from Germany, uses thousands of the gelatinous treats to make his colourful masterpieces.
作为一个波普艺术的追随者,他重新创作了安迪-沃霍尔(波普艺术之父)及其他大师的名作。创作每幅画都要花费100到240个小时,如果这还不够辛苦的话,他还得忍受糖果诱惑的煎熬。
A fan of pop art, he has recreated works by Andy Warhol, as well as those done by the masters. Each portrait takes from 100 to 240 hours to complete - and if that was not painstaking enough, Mr Cordes also has to resist the temptation to gorge on the candy.
到目前为止,他已经用掉几百万个小熊糖约合每年三吨,每周200包。仅仅创作沃霍尔版的梦露就用掉了3200个糖果。
He's used millions of gummy bears so far in his work and gets through around three tons of them a year which equates to 200 bags a week.His version of Warhol's Monroe required 3,200 bears alone.
因为Haribo只有六种颜色,他甚至还发明了自己涂色技术,并且把糖果做成不同的形状保存。
Due to Haribo's limited range of six colours, he has even devised his own technique of coating them in various shades, and preserving them.
