POP!

POP! Art embraces a romance with popular modern culture while simultaneously critiques the commodity driven practices and values of consumerism. POP! Art is inspired by cultural icons, and personalities to fashion and design trends from commonplace objects. Bright eye-catching colors, innovative techniques and materials implemented from recognizable imagery such as signage, symbols, & branding, are adapted to produce mixed media / collage, painting / drawing / printmaking, photography / video, and installation / sculptural based art works. POP!, curated by Zak Blatt and Marci Rubin, features artwork that stimulates conversations regarding these popular cultural trends; past, present, & future.
