Andy Warhol


Andy Warhol

As some of us are creating stacking, using colour and hanging our work for exhibition, have a look at Andy Warhol’s work looking at colour.

 His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. Warhol uses many forms of media that include hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music.

The aspect that interests me about Warhol’s work is the colour. They are bright hallucinated  colours, which do not resemble any natural colours or characteristics of the people he re-created within his work.



Warhol discusses his choice of colour in this 1981 recording. Press the play button to listen to his comments.
