Back in August, as you may recall, many an aesthete's fantasies were shattered by the news that Grecian statues, the beacons of elegance and sophistication that we so love and cherish, were in fact, originally, quite a romp of multicoloured kitsch (on Core77 here).
Talented Texan photographer Cody Hamilton, inspired by this finding, has created a deliciously anachronistic collection entitled "Relics" in which a whole host of 80's retro classics ranging from the Atari to the VHS tape—objects of perhaps the most gaudy of artistic eras—are given a minimalistic coat of marble white.
He might well be on to something with that monochrome Rubik's cube.
More "Relics" and a lot of impressive work on Cody's homepage.
