Vik Muniz

Vik Muniz is a Brazilian artist and photographer. Muniz incorporates unusual objects into his artwork such as peanut butter and jelly, chocolate syrup, diamonds, spaghetti, garbage, etc.  His most interesting line of work is his "Pictures of Chocolate" series where he paints pictures with chocolate syrup. This piece, titled "Action Photo" is a portrait of Jackson Pollock taken by Hans Namuth in chocolate syrup. The details that Muniz put into this piece using chocolate syrup is really unique to his style of art. It's different because it looks like he used just brown paint, when in reality it is actually chocolate syrup.
