Yahoo News These Hair Styles Are Works Of Art - Literally
Ursula Goff has carved herself quite an unusual niche in the world of hair colouring: by recreating classic works of art.
In ‘Fine Art Series’, Goff takes artworks like The Birth of Venus (above), Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Klimt’s The Kiss and applies them to hair.
Rather than just slap a load of blue and yellow dye on her head, she recreates the shades and shapes of the work as well as the colours. Here’s Starry Night:
“I have done art since I was 5,” she wrote on Facebook, “First developing hand skills as a sketcher, and then expanding those skills into color by working with acrylics, tempera, and especially water colors.
“I tend to color hair much the same way I color a canvas, using the same sorts of color application techniques and identical color theory. So in honor of my art background being so useful, I thought I’d do a Fine Art series.”
