Cubism... With a twist: Artist recreates iconic images using thousands of RUBIK'S CUBES   An artist has given some of the most iconic portraits of celebrities a unique twist - by recreating them using thousands of Rubik's cubes.From Michael Jackson to Madonna, the mind-boggling creations are the exact replica of their real life famous faces.But the colourful portraits are more than just a mirror image, because they appear to jump off the wall thanks to clever subtleties in shading and depth.     Cube caricatures: Josh Chalom recreates iconic portraits and pieces of art, like this one of Marilyn Monroe, using only Rubik's Cubes     Love Art? Join our Group Funzug!     King of Pop - art? Michael Jackson gets the Rubik's Cube treatment and,  children's favourite Spongebob Squarepants in all his cubic glory.The collections images of musicians, celebrities, politicians as well as recreations of famous Pop-Art pieces and classics like the 'Mona Lisa'.They are the brainchild of artist Josh Chalom, who along with a team of more than 30 people painstakingly piece and twist the creations together.He said: 'I simply love the art form - I'm fascinated by old Atari 8-bit video games so this is the perfect medium for it.'I've been doing this for a little over three years now and have no intentions of slowing down either. It's not so much a hobby but a passion in my life.'Each one is hand twisted so depending on the size it takes anywhere from two or three days to a week or two to finish, but it all depends on complexity and planning for it.'The biggest piece so far is the Hand of God - it's 29ft by 14.5ft and we used 12,090 cubes for that. It should be a Guinness record by next year.'     Love Art? Join our Group Funzug!   A snip at half the price: Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands is recreated using thousands of cubes     Leaving an impression: Josh Chalom recreates The Hand of God from the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican   Mr Chalom, 52, has built a team of collaborators from graphic architects to 'cubers'.The aim at his Cubeworks base in Toronto, Canada, is to get more people involved in old masterpieces. He said: 'We specialise in things that people will come and say "wow" at - the more over-the-top the better in our eyes.'Other people are doing it but no one else has gone to the size or scope that we have.'They do it and sell it for £10,000 a piece - we do it for art and charge a 10th of that.'
