Andy Warhol's Pop Art

Andy Warhol was an iconic figure in American art history. He and his fellow artists inspired and popularized the concept of pop art. Warhol’s Coca-Cola bottles, Campbell soup cans, and triadic color paintings of Marilyn Monroe are well-known among people around the world who are not even frequent visitors to art museums. In this project, I adopted Warhol’s triadic colors style into my work. The original picture was taken in the summer of 2017 when I visited a historical site in Shanghai, China, and serendipitously found this clever and beautiful creature. This piece celebrates both Warhol’s timeless style and cats’ mysterious beauty.
