surreal mask


I did this last year when I made my mask. I photoshopped them into a background. It looks kind of surreal.

Andy Warhol

This is my own attempt at the Andy Warhol Effect. The personality is someone who is getting a lot of spotlight in the korean pop culture. Andy Warhol liked and was fascinated by famous people. He would have interested if he had experienced the Korean pop culture.

On the 29th of February we travelled to Brisbane to visit the Andy Warhol Art Exhibition. It was a very interesting experience and was very enjoyble. We looked at the artworks done by Andy Warhol and observed what Pop culture was about. His quotes were very fascinationg. He must have been a very interesting person.

Some of his quotes were;
-'The world fascinates me.'
-'I like boring things.'
-'I think everybody is my friend.'
-'Black and White are my favourite colours.'
-'I prefer to remain a mystry.'

We saw many artworks done by Andy Warhol that included personalities, such as Jacki Kennedy and Marilyn Manroe. My favourite artwork was the cow wallpaper. I wish I could have it in my own room.





Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), better known as Andy Warhol, was an American artist and a central figure in the movement known as Pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, an avant-garde filmmaker, a record producer, an author, and a public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats. A controversial figure during his lifetime (his work was often derided by critics as a hoax, or "put-on"), Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, feature and documentary films since his death in 1987.
