Gee, one of a kind, even in doubles.
To me this is Pop Art at its finest.
I’m impressed because it’s difficult to break out of the pop art cult factor defined so acutely in the 50’s & 60’s.
Thank you!
I know what you mean. Can’t remember the last time I saw an innovative Pop Art series like this one.
Arresting is a great word. These works are so eye-catching – I love the bold colours and the drama of these portraits!
Drama is exactly right, no question the deliberate popping of the images is so effective. Thanks for your impressions.
Seriously, how cool are those!
Yes, exactly. Love them all.
