Artist Gauvain Manhattan Creates Canvases Inspired By Cult Scenes From Video Games

Are you looking for canvases inspired by cult scenes from video games? If you thought that canvas was out of fashion, the artist Gauvain Manhattan will undoubtedly change your mind! And for good reason, he brings the art of canvas back to life by drawing inspiration from video games.

We grant you that the illustrator, who notably released a comic book entitled Peste in 2020, unconventionally got into embroidery. Indeed, he creates unique works that revisit cult scenes from video games like Minecraft, Zelda, Sonic, and Street Fighter.

Highlighted by the media Konbini, the artist’s creations, combine tradition and modernity. His artistic approach literally breaks the codes of the canvas by integrating contemporary references and graphic elements from video games. Each canvas thus becomes a fusion between craftsmanship and geek culture, while retaining this pixel aspect, which was the driving force of an entire generation of video games at the end of the last century.

To discover his astonishing creations and dive into this universe where pixels meet embroidery, go to his website or Instagram account, which already has more than 22,000 followers.

And if you enjoy this kind of creative exercise, we invite you to (re)discover the Splendid 3D Embroidery Art of Insects by Claire Moynihan.
