Generally speaking, I would say that me and Warhol come at art in pretty different directions. I wouldn't really say that i'm too into the whole 'leftovers' idea. I think that 'recycling' (as Warhol puts it) is actually more like re-appropriation, and the whole recycling idea comes off as a little forced; I mean seriously nothing less is wasted in Andy Warhol's art than in anybody else's. But I guess that something of semantics. I do think Warhol's work relates to one of my project ideas, however, in that I may make food portraits of famous people. In many ways this project idea is deeply rooted in pop art, and may also in fact re-use famous imagery. So maybe I am actually into 'leftovers?' No, I still think its different (and I would also say that this project is not the norm for me).
I like how you are going to make food portraits of famous people in the style of pop art. Now I'm tempted to change my sculptur picture in a pop style that Andy Warhol did.
ReplyDeleteDid the world look different after Warhol as the Burns documentary claims? Making soup cans into paintings or Chex into portraits seem somehow related.
