Art Concentration: Appropriation of Iconic Art Pt. 2

This is my version of Andy Warhol's iconic print of Marilyn Monroe. I added subtle details as if she was robotic, silver skin tone, golden hair and metal patchwork, while keeping the essence of the original prints by keeping it simple. In contrast to the original prints, I made it a bit 'raw' and unclean to juxtapose with the perfectness of the original image.

Art Concentration: Appropriation of Iconic Art Pt. 1

Since I haven't had the chance to create new images, I thought I'd share some of the artworks I've done in the past.

For my concentration, I focused on appropriation of iconic artworks from the past, and reconstructing it with a sci-fi twist. For this one, American Gothic by Grant Wood, my inspiration came from post-apocalyptic imagery and pixellation.
