Andy Warhol at the ArtScience Museum

When I think of Andy Warhol, I think of 2 things - Campbell Soup and Marilyn Monroe. I am not a fan of Andy Warhol but have always been fascinated with the silkscreen print technique used for mass producing images with different colors. Andy Warhol popularized this print technique with images of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Mao ZeDong. Different colors brought out different emotions and there are no right or wrong answers on how you feel about the emotions / colors.


He also did this with Campbell Soup but his realistic images of the soup can left a more lasting impression on me.




Andy Warhol Exhibits at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore



I visited Andy Warhol's exhibits at the Art Science Museum in Singapore over the Songkran holidays and got to know him better. Other than the Campbell Soup and Marilyn Monroe, he also dabbled with music (the Velvet Underground) and thought-provoking art installations like the Silver Clouds.


His work also inspired other pieces from South East Asian artists. These 2 pieces of realistic images are very popular canned food in the region. Everyone my age would remember these ... lychees in syrup with your homemade almond jelly and luncheon meat with your fried rice or fried meehoon.

Till my next blog post, explore pop art! =)
