This series by French artist 8th Project features a range of pop-culture and video game characters, all abstracted in a style of Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky.

The abstraction feels fresh and new, while still retaining just enough of the character’s trademark color or shape to remain recognizable.

From Mario and Luigi to Mickey Mouse and The Pink Panther, it’s a fun collection that shows the power of art to inspire.

Prints of these characters are available on 8th Project’s website.
