Russell Young — Marilyn Goddess
Russell Young

Marilyn Goddess

Rendered in Russell Young's signature style, *Marilyn Goddess* presents an iconic image of Marilyn Monroe through bold screenprinting on deep black Somerset paper, evoking the gritty glamour of pop art. The addition of diamond dust catches the light with a seductive glimmer, elevating the work with an air of decadence and mythological reverence. Together, these elements blur the line between celebrity and divinity, cementing Monroe's status as a timeless cultural goddess.
