This one of a kind mixed media piece by Phoenix's own Dr Curtis Dickman is a striking homage to pop culture and Pop Art. Inspired by the mid-century art movement defined by Andy Warhol and Roy Liechtenstein, Dickman presents a photomosaic portrait of mid-century icon Marilyn Monroe as she blows a bubble-gum bubble about to POP!
The portrait, comprised of small pixel headshots of Monroe herself, is printed on an elevated panel in front of a background collage that likewise reflects classic Pop Art motifs - Campbell's soup cans, Brillo boxes, Warhol portraits, and Bazooka Bubble gum. Created in 2023 on two wood panels the 36" x 36" work is embellished with gold leaf, diamond dust, ink and acrylic.
