Andre Miripolsky
Admiring a Flower - Abstracted Figurative Pop Art
1990

About the Item

Bold and deeply textured pop art by Andre Miripolsky (French-American, b. 1951). A heavily stylized figure looks down at a flower, against a bright yellow background with blue and pink dots. The colors are hyper-saturated with the addition of day glow and iridescent metallic paint. This piece is constructed of multiple layers of corrugated cardboard that has been cut and shaped, then affixed to a foam panel. The painting was then completed on top of the cardboard, giving it mass and depth. Despite it's size, the piece is relatively light. It is painted on all edges, allowing for a frameless display. Additionally, the artist has affixed pieces of foam on verso, meaning that it will appear to hover approximately two inches from the wall. Andre Miripolsky (French-American, b. 1951) Miripolsky was born in Paris, France in 1951. His father was Bert Miripolsky, also an artist and the cultural advisor for the American Foreign Service. By age eight he was working with oils and by age ten he sold his first painting to the American Ambassador to Indonesia. After graduating High School in Seoul, Korea, he headed to the California Institute of the Arts where he honed his style. However, he left the institution after two years and briefly pursued an acting career before dedicating himself to visual art full-time. Miripolsky became a full-time artist through the creative work he did for Elton John, most notably the "piano jacket" which the musician wore at his 1980 Central Park Concert. This ultimately led to working with other musicians including Cheap Trick, Bette Midler, Quincy Jones, Rolling Stones and Tatsuro Yamashita. He created brand imagery for Bud Light, Mattel, Spago, Superior grocers, and other global markets. In 1991, Absolut Vodka commissioned Miripolsky for his first illustration, which led to several other advertising campaigns organized around Miripolsky's original work. In 1996, the artist was recorded painting on an Absolut webcast which broadcast for a week and was titled the "Human Ant Farm." In 1997, San Francisco's landmark billboard featured a painting titled "Absolut Miripolsky." In 1992, Miripolsky painted a mural on the floor of University of California at Los Angeles' center basketball court at Pauley Pavilion on behalf of the 1992-1993 season of the MTV show, Rock and Jock B-Ball Jam. From 1997 to 2004, Miripolsky illustrated the sets of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. These works were huge scenic paintings and floor art that accompanied the guest bands' segments of the show. It was the first and only time in NBC's history that the network commissioned an independent artist to create such large-format work. In 2011, Miripolsky was asked to create a mural for the fence of the newly reopening Museum of Monterey. The artist was assisted by a team of art students in creating a mural that represents the sky and ocean using four different shades of blue. Through an optical illusion, the mural gives the visual impression that the museum is sitting on undulating waves of water. Miripolsky sketched out the design on the fence first and, using a sort of paint-by-numbers system, the students colored in the mural. Museum President Todd Hood described the mural as "fundamentally important to the museum and to Monterey." Miripolsky created a fifteen by fifty foot mural on vinyl in conjunction with Downtown Art Walk, a Los Angeles arts organization. The installation, painted on vinyl, is displayed on the wall on Olive Street between Fifth and Sixth, across from the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. It portrays a panorama of Los Angeles' most recognizable landmarks. Nearby, Miripolsky's "Urban Artscape" is a permanent installation at Seventh and Figueroa. Also painted on vinyl, the 8–foot-by-20-foot mural was supported by Arts Brookfield and the DTLA Art Walk. Miripolsky designed the visual art for a Star Line Tours double-decker bus that makes a six-hour citywide tour, covering Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Downtown Los Angeles.
