For some years now there has been intense international rivalry for artists who aspire to build the world’s greatest large canvas art. Ando, a revolutionary and genuinely gifted artist from Australia created and painted a unbelieveably vast canvas work of art. The Big Picture is far from a average painting, measuring one hundred metres by 12 metres at its longest point, it’s alleged to be the world's biggest acrylic painting on canvas illustrated by a lone painter. Ando's remarkable style of super realism brings the setting to life with virtually photographic characteristics on a mammoth level.
To create a really remarkable and involving show 300 tonnes of red dirt was put in place and arranged to complement the composition, the observer can't ascertain where the three-dimensional finishes and the 2D begins. His painting is so massive that it took over three tonnes of ink and one and a half tonnes of fabric to manufacture, with over 20,000 plants and one thousand five hundred hills, it really is an astonishing spectacle.
However, it appears that painters around the planet are continuously trying to out-do Ando and his awesome art. In Stockholm, Sweden artist David Aberg has produced an incredible 8,000-square-metre painting - definitely the largest painting made by a solo painter.
The Swedish painter said that he took 30 months and 100 tonnes of paint to perfect the work, known as "Mother Earth," inside an aircraft hangar in Angelholm, in the south of Sweden. Though it’s in no way similar in creative value to Ando’s art it was celebrated by the Guinness World Records in London as the planet's greatest canvas art piece by a single painter, greater than twice the size of the previous record holder.
Hardly any of these pieces measure up to the mammoth “landscaping art” which has grown to be a growing development in the “world’s biggest” arena in modern times. Ando made the greatest piece of art ever built with his “Mundi Man” in NSW, Australia. The recreation of his earlier piece of the same name, Mundi Man is distributed over approximately four million square miles, and required hundreds of careful calculations to finish. Apparently the trend for acquiring the “world’s largest” is mounting, I for one can’t wait to find more amazing large canvas art.
