The Entire Film Top Gun, Squashed Into A Single Painting

Canberra, Australia is a city of few highlights, but one genuinely cool thing it does have going for it is the Australian War Memorial. A place that now houses in its collection surely one of n98 this century’s greatest works of art. https://kotaku.com/classic-dioramas-depict-the-horrors-of-war-5920402 The image up top is a painting by Aussie artist Baden Pailthorpe, called Colour study (Top Gun). And while it looks like a gradient splosh of paint, it’s actually the entire 1986 z16 ทางเข้า Tom Cruise movie crammed onto a single canvas. How’d he do it?

A reference to the true nature of moving images as illusory series of stills, this image is everything that Top Gun is not; slow, meditative, deeply rich and quietly intense.” Um, excuse me, there is no scene more “deeply rich” or “quietly intense” in all of cinema than this.
