One thing that you cannot question is the internet’s way of proving firstly, that people are endlessly creative and secondly, that they have a lot of spare time. You can now see Young Thug mirrored with classical paintings thanks to Instagram account ‘youngthugaspaintings‘, and the result is something spectacular.

The creative genius behind this editing proves that Young Thug is truly timeless, producing seamless comparisons between the antique and the contemporary. The account states that “this is literally my school project”. And if that’s actually the case (because the internet), then this is a pretty cool school. Or very enterprising student.

Take a look and admire some of the freaky resemblances between Thugger and the masterpieces above.
