David Willardson is the creative force of the “Pep Art Movement,” an innovative new genre where cultural icons are rendered with an unprecedented infusion of color, personality and energy. Unlike traditional “pop art”, however, the subjects of Willardson’s “pep” imagery are not soup cans or boxes of Tide – they are classic Disney characters. “They were my childhood heroes,” Willardson remembers. “I never lost that.” The images in his work express an untapped inner verve bubbling within, giving us a sacred glimpse into their Technicolor souls. “And they do have souls,” Willardson said of his subjects.
