Russell Young
British · b. 1966

Young creates large scale silkscreen portraits of iconic Hollywood and pop culture figures printed on metallic surfaces with neon and glitter overlays, directly paralleling Cox's use of a luminous backlit aluminum panel featuring a legendary cinematic image. His signature blend of celebrity portraiture, metallic substrates, and glowing color accents mirrors the aesthetic language of Audrey as Holly.

Doug Argue
American · b. 1958

Argue works extensively with large format photographic imagery transferred onto reflective and industrial surfaces, exploring the intersection of iconic imagery and fabricated light effects. His monumental scale works share Cox's interest in elevating found photographic source material through sculptural and illuminated presentation.

Jack Pierson
American · b. 1960

Pierson combines vintage Hollywood glamour photography, neon signage, and text based light installations into works that evoke nostalgia, desire, and cinematic mythology, closely echoing Cox's fusion of an iconic black and white film image with glowing neon elements. His practice of rendering celebrity and pop culture imagery through luminous fabricated materials is directly analogous to Audrey as Holly.
