Nirit Aharoni
Marilyn Monroe

2019

About the Item

''Marilyn Monroe'' is a unique brushed aluminum artwork by Nirit Aharoni depicting Marylin Monroe, an American actress, model, and singer. Famous for playing comedic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era's changing attitudes towards sexuality. Aharoni is a video artist, painter, and photographer whose works have been displayed in many exhibitions over the years. Her preoccupation with women and femininity began with her documentary film "Strung Out" which won the directing prize at the International Film Festival in Jerusalem for 2015. The film also won an outstanding prize at a women's festival in Paris and is expected to participate in other festivals around the world. The artist's photographic work is defined as dark, reflecting the balance of power between weakness and power, and provoking a discussion of the place and identity of women in contemporary society and culture, the yearning for belonging and self-determination.

Judy Garland - Original Black and White Red Lips Mixed Media String Artwork
By Ricky Hunt
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Ricky Hunt’s work is influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphs, graffiti and his tumultuous past that led to a paradigm shift in creativity and life. On his sculptural and three-dimensional mixed media artworks he covers the wood panel with carefully placed nails and creates intriguing portraits with thread woven through the nails. The harmony of the overall filography composition finds its way through his intricate threading of yarn into a cohesive visual statement. Hidden within the patterns and markings of this string art portrait are limitless points of interest, constantly revealing the imagery in a new way for us to discover. His works have been exhibited at galleries and art fairs internationally, including Los Angeles, New York, Zurich, Hong Kong and London. This unique mixed media artwork measures 48 inches high by 42 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The shadows cast by the nails and black thread add a three-dimensional texture to this monochromatic artwork. It is wired and ready to hang. It does not require framing. It is signed and dated by the artist on the back of the artwork. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping available (this artwork ships in a crate). A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry and astronomy are a few of the themes that run through his paintings and he expresses it with unique imagery. Hunt describes his contemporary imagery as, “Chaotic order pouring from the watery depths of my unconscious”. Ricky Hunt lives and paints in Los Angeles. A brief period of drug addiction in the 1980's led to a term of incarceration for the artist. This in turn led to the discovery of his artistic talent and personal transformation through the love of art. He found inspiration in artists such as Basquiat and Haring...
