michelangelo nintendo remix

'game over' by kordian lewandowski

polish artist kordian lewandowski has taken inspiration from michelangelo famous la pieta sculpture and

reinterpreted it using nintendo characters. lewandowski's sculpture features mario and princess in place

of jesus and mary from michelangelo’s. named ‘game over’, the piece is made from polystyrene foam

that lewandowski carved in full scale using a chainsaw at first and more precise tools to finish. while the

sculpture may not be included in an art history book, it showcases one of the most iconic sculptural

subjects of the renaissance re-contextualized using the storyline of mario instead of the bible.
