EP164-INSANE 51

Insane51 has developed a mind bending painting style that incorporates double exposure images painted exclusively in red and blue (pink and cyan to be exact) showing two images at once. When viewed through a red or blue filter, like the two lenses of traditional 1950’s style 3D movie glasses, the viewer is able to isolate parts of the painting while everything else becomes invisible. By flipping back and forth between the red and blue filters one is able to see two different images in his art. Although he was not the fist to play with this trick of light and color, Insane51 harnessed the illusion in a very interesting and unique way, by turning the red and blue 3d glasses into an X-Ray machine. Focusing mainly on human portraiture, his figures beautifully painted in one color seem to be unaware that their inner skeletal structure illuminates out to the viewer in the opposite color. His instantly recognisable murals are in high demand and have taken him around the globe and back numerous times and gained him a monstrous following on social media with over 400,000 followers on instagram alone. Never satisfied however, Insane51 is always looking to take his art to the next level wether through interesting collaborations with established commercial brands or moving his personal work into new materials and dimensions.
