1985

A vibrant portfolio of commercial and consumer imagery rendered in the distinctive silkscreen style characteristic of 1980s Pop Art. The composition assembles ten colorful prints depicting recognizable brands and cultural icons, including automotive logos, cosmetic packaging, fashion house emblems, and food products. Each image employs bold, flattened color fields and high contrast printing techniques to celebrate mass production and commercial design. The works exemplify the appropriation and elevation of everyday advertising materials into fine art through repetition and chromatic variation.
