Eduardo Kobra, has long nursed a fascination for vintage images. His latest piece puts a fresh spin of the classic photograph VJ Day in Times Square by Alfred Eisenstaedt.  The kaleidoscopic treatment of the image has been painted in Chelsea, just a short walk from where the famous kiss took place (in Times Square).
