Jeff Koons Painting

Pop art originated in the 1950-ies as a tendency reflecting images and topics from the popular culture as well as products of the consumer society. “In the future everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame” said Andy Warhol. Even the first manifestations of European Pop Art in artworks made references to the old classical art. Nowadays the very works of art and even their creators become images of mass culture, circulated in millions of copies, printed on items for everyday use. The faces of the painters and their names, the artists themselves are present in TV programs, on billboards and in commercials. Art museums constitute a part of mass cultural tourism. The modern digital personality establishes links to artwork from all over the world via the different media which leads art to new meanings and dimensions. The personality of the artist has come forward. Andy Warhol in America and Joseph Beuys in Europe were the icons of postmodern art in the 1960-ies; today their very images have become objects of art. Reproduced through oil, collage and splash painting techniques, in the bold contrasting colours typical of pop art, the artworks have been created under the influence of the postmodern tendencies from the second decade of the 20-th century. Warhol, Beuys and other popular personalities are the objects of this project’s portraiture. The challenge here is to create the portrait feature in harmony with the techniques of the postmodern currents and the depth of the artistic vision carried by every one of these personalities.
