Marilyn monroe Pop Art
This Marilyn Monroe “pop art” painting is possibly one of the last canvases I painted in this style around the mid-noughties. By this point I had become obsessed by making sure that my paintings of this style were better executed than other artists who were producing them. I would be meticulous in the application of the paint to the point where the completed artwork was often mistaken for a print.
The term “pop art” has come to refer to paintings in thie style although, this is not of course all that relevant to the original meaning of the phrase, referring to the pop art movement and subsequent paintings.
There is so much about Marilyn Monroe which can be the theme of a canvas. this painting was not about the vulnerability or the softness of Marilyn, which is the theme of so many of my other Marilyn Monroe Paintings. This canvas is all abotu the ultra stylised celebrity at the height of her game.
The public did not know Marilyn and much of her life is never discussed. We prefer to focus on the iconic image rather than the sadness of the real woman at times. This canvas is a celebration of the ultimate female icon.
