Artwork by Daniel Kornfumpf
We’re all about unique ways to make
art. We’ve highlighted Jell-O landscapes, toast portraits and Rubik’s Cubisms.
But we’re truly blown away by the sheer skill required to create these
embroidered portraits.
Now we’ve been known to make the occasional baby shower or wedding sampler. And not to toot our own horns, but they’ve been proudly displayed in many a nursery and honeymooner’s home. We can count off. We can make a knotted stem stitch. But this artwork is beyond belief.
Pennsylvania-based artist Daniel
Kornfumpf clearly excelled in his Home Ec class. He must have done a pretty
stellar job when he got his BFA at Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, and his
MFA at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
The artist creates hand crafted
needlepoint portraits with as much detail and shadowing as any painter could
pull off. And his work seems to be catching on. He’s had four exhibitions in
2011 alone at places like BLANK SPACE in New York City, Gallery 263 in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Icebox Gallery and Moore College of Art and
Design in Philly.

of his incredible work.
