About the Item

This painting draws inspiration from Andy Warhol's iconic pop art portraits. I am particularly drawn to the vibrant colors and the unique perspective through which Warhol portrayed famous individuals. Motivated by this, I embarked on an experimental journey within the realm of pop art, choosing to depict an animal portrait instead. Employing a diverse array of mediums, including oil painting, golden leaf, and paper text clippings, I sought to create a dynamic composition that pushes the boundaries of traditional pop art. Central to the piece is a nod to The Rolling Stones, captured with their timeless declaration: "It's only rock'n'roll, but I like it!" This statement not only encapsulates the essence of rebellion but also serves as a testament to the audacious spirit of our protagonist. In essence, this artwork represents a fusion of pop art elements with a bold disregard for conformity. It symbolizes a departure from the conventional norms, both in artistic expression and in life itself. Through its innovative blend of mediums and its celebration of defiance, this piece stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of rebellion in the world of art. This art work participate exhibition ARTBOXEXPO Basel, Euroairport Basel, Switzerland 2023 This piece is a mixing media on a canvas. It measures 70 by 60 cm and has been coated with a layer of professional varnish to protect it from sunlight and dust.
