Polke Dot Pop

Note:

Hi there! My name is Elliott and I am a painter. I am about to complete my Master of Fine Art (Painting) at the National Art School.
My subject matter is the appropriation advertising and consumer imagery as paintings.

Pop Art is all about copying, simulating, faking. It's superficial, glib and highly aesthetic. This art set begins to explore the aesthetics and motivations that could be related to Pop.
The works I have chosen are all entirely different, but they are linked by their lurid palettes and the artists' take on representation.
