ABOUT THE ARTIST
Mel Ramos is a California artist, who received his first important recognition in the early 1960's. Along with other artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and James Rosenquist, Ramos produced art works that celebrated aspects of popular culture as represented in mass media.
Highly influenced by his teacher, Wayne Thiebaud, he developed a specific kind of Pop Art iconography by combining nude pin-up girls from American magazines and advertisements with branded products. His art is critical and an ironic reaction to the cliches conveyed by advertising in the media.
In 1967 he has an important exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which lead to numerous exhibitions in the USA and Europe. In 1972, and was represented at the Pop Art exhibition at the Whitney Museum, New York.

Mel Ramos
Mel Ramos’s provocative, humorous paintings mix idealized nude women with the imagery of popular culture—Coca Cola bottles, movie posters, and the like. A prolific artist from his emergence in the 1960s onward, Ramos has often based his nudes on the female celebrities of the day, from Marilyn Monroe to Scarlett Johansson. His style references the sensuality and glossy flatness of pin-ups and Playboy spreads and has drawn the ire of feminists and art critics alike, despite Ramos’s assertion that his works are “apolitical”. Though clearly aligned with Pop art in his appropriation of imagery from mass media and consumer products, Ramos calls his practice rooted in Surrealism and its emphasis on “absurd conjunctions”—in his case, a beautiful nude woman emerging from a Snickers wrapper or lounging seductively in a banana split.
