Warhol

Details

Part of the Spirits of Art series — a collection of portraits dedicated to legendary artists whose influence continues to live beyond time. Warhol takes his place among his soup cans, cool behind tinted glasses and that unmistakable silver-blond fringe. The skeletal face is rendered in loud pop colour, repeated the way he loved to repeat the everyday until it became iconic. It is bold, ironic and knowing — a portrait of the man who blurred the line between art and fame, product and person. Beneath the cool surface there is a real sense of fun. To live with this piece is to keep a bright, witty conversation on the wall. Warhol made the ordinary immortal; here his sharp, playful spirit is still watching the world go by. Acrylic on Canvas, 20 x 28 inches
