Artist Transforms Tin Cans into Famous Historical Self-Portraits

Image by @Allan Rubin Art / Facebook

Allan Rubin’s project named CANON aims to present a variety of famous historical self-portraits created by using ordinary tin cans. He successfully copies the style of each artist whose self-portrait he’s doing.

Rubin’s works are currently exhibited in New York, at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance in Narrowsburg. If you have the chance, stop by before May 5. In the meantime, check out the photos of his self-portraits below.
