Steve Jobs Bubble Wrap Art Really Pops

Artist Bradley Hart doesn't draw or paint — he injects

Hart uses syringes to inject acrylic paints into bubble wrap to create beautifully pixelated portraits. One of Hart's most interesting injection series subjects is Steve Jobs (pictured above). The artist started with a photo of the late Apple co-founder and allowed the playful shipping staple to act as his canvas.

Art critic and Ph.D. Deborah Zafman offered her take on Hart's work in a press release for his New York show:

The bubble wrap-as-canvas proposition seems to poke fun at the modernist grid which has been the emblem of modernity. While the modernist grid traditionally implies flatness, Hart subverts this through his use of a three-dimensional grid ... bubble wrap! But it is more serious than a subversive joke. The round bubbles represent “pixels” and this relates directly to our age of digital photography
