Canvas Prints - Pop Art Canvas
Pop art canvas is something of a recent phenomenon, with Andy Warhol popularizing it in the late 60's, and it has become an important part of both American and global art. The canvas prints gallery I saw featured much of the works by graffiti stencil artists Wilde and Banksy, who are popular throughout Great Britain for their daring and off-kilter works of public art. They are now available in canvas art form, and are fitting for a new studio apartment or someone with a slight anarchist streak. There are also pop art prints by other artists, and classic automobile canvas prints. Let's go over some of my favorites from the gallery.
The Skull Run by Wilde, features a mother and child walking together (presumably to school, since the child has a bundle under his arm), in black and white. They are wearing red gas masks, and the mother's dress has a white skull and crossbones on it, and there is red running along one side. The piece is likely a commentary on post Cold War paranoia and police state mentality, as are many of his pieces, and combines humor with a distinct message of social commentary. This piece of canvas art is an important part of the mentality of modern youth subculture.
A few Banksy canvas prints are also featured, and while some of my favorites of his aren’t offered, the Bomb Hugger is a poignant piece of social criticism that should not be ignored. It depicts a young girl, probably ten or twelve, holding and embracing a missile. A tiny heart appears above her head. The piece features the words, "People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. People in glass cities shouldn’t fire missiles." The message of the piece is hard to miss, but it gets the point across while still managing to be visually interesting and tasteful.
All of these pieces have something to say, and they say it with the no-regrets, in your face kind of mentality that is necessary when delivering a message of their nature. While the other pop art pieces and automobile aren't as striking as the graffiti, they do get the idea right. The Coca Cola bottle is especially reminiscent of Warhol's work, and the Beetles are colourfully attractive without being annoying. One print of a blue turntable stands out as a subtle, enjoyable piece of art. For these and other fascinating works of wall art, please visit our website.
