I love Pop Art. It was my favourite thing when I was in school for design. A common mistake that people (still) make is that they take things about this movement too literally. It’s loud, its bright & its in YO FACE… but it’s as not very straight forward as you think it is.
“Throughout history Fascists, Communists, Marxists, and Socialists have murdered and oppressed those who were under their rule, yet popular culture and propaganda have tried to make these monsters into heros and icons. Twisting peoples memories and brainwashing them into an Orwellian nightmare.”
- Jesse Lenz, The Concept of ‘Monsters & Marilyns‘
What is your take on this? Amazing work though! Makes you really wanna question and think in your head how the world works sometimes. (or not). Other than that, its visually appealing!
