Originating in Germany in the early 20th century as an artistic movement, Bauhaus took a unique approach to art and architecture. Its aim was to combine an individual vision of art and design with functionality and mass production.
Bauhaus remains influential in modern times, with its principles still being used in architecture, product design, and art. It also serves as an inspiration for artists, who are applying Bauhaus to their works in an unexpected way.
One of them is Australian artist Elisha, aka Bauhaus Your Haus. She creates artworks in which, as she puts it, “Bauhaus design meets pop culture.” These artworks use recognizable elements of Bauhaus design, including clean lines, bold colors, and simple geometric shapes.
Elisha’s art features depictions of celebrities, superheroes, and characters from movies, TV shows, and video games. The list includes retired sprinter Usain Bolt, Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: Next Generation, the version of superhero Wolverine from the X-Men ’97 animated series, Heath Ledgers’ version of the villain Joker, Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch aka Cap’n Crunch, and many more.
Elisha shares her newest creations on social media and offers them as posters on her Etsy shop. You can check them out by scrolling below.
