Mario Bros Map Paintings by Ken Kocses
“Using video game editing software, I first developed, and then painted, a screen map that references Super Mario World, a 90s era video game. The image clearly mimics the style of the old video game, but introduces new elements that add a humorous and nostalgic take on it. The flatly painted surface and intense colors heighten the relationship between the digital and the real.”
