ICON ART
Celebrity or Icon art has seen an explosion in online galleries in the past few years. Sometimes now refered to as “pop art” as in recent years it seems that the true meaning of the term pop art has been forgotten or is, at least changing.
JOE HENDRY & CELEBRITY ART
.Since I began to paint full time, I have continued to paint iconic art in addition to figurative work and lanscapes. The manner in which I have approached the subject has never really varied in that I have chosen to paint subject who appeal to me in some way. It would be difficult for me to paint a subject whom I did not in some way approve of.
Creating the right environment when painting a piece of icon art has been important o me. If I am painting Madonna, I listen to Madonna, If I am painting Debbie Harry, then I am listening to Blondie.
I was approached by The Blondie Review early on in my new painting career and was very flattered when they included a two page interview and photograph of my art in their 5th anniversary edition.
As detailed in the following pages, my art has also appeared in the books Marilyn In Art by Roger Taylor and Diana In Art by Mem Mehmet.
FUTURE CELEBRITY ART
I am always developing my artwork and last year the manner in which I tackled celebrity paintings took a sufdden change. I hope to continue to develop and explore new styles. The following pages incorporated a variety of painting styles and subjects spanning the past three years.
