After a while an old idea popped up in his brizzle and he decided he wanted to tile his sanitary rooms with small 4x4 colored tiles. Which would give a pixelated effect, as if it were pixel art.
So after lots of studies on classics in art, which he describes carefully in a blogging post at the NYT, Niemann came to the conclusion that old, detailed art isn't suitable for pixelation. After a stop at the 20th century he came to Warhol. To Warhols Brillo Box, which is seen here.
After some detailed studies, a trip to the tile cutter and an afternoon of tiling this is the result.
Darn, looks good. But personally I also really like what Niemann did to his kids' bathroom.
On the left there's a plan, of what it should look like, and on the right there's a picture of what it is in reality. Now, the design was copied from the NY subway map. I don't know maybe Niemann's kids have got something with it, but still it looks pretty awesome! With Central Park nice in the middle and the South point of Manhattan high up on the wall. The whole is very colorful which makes it even cooler.
