Contemporary composition Round

Pop art-inspired painting

Take a look at this contemporary painting with an industrial feel. We can see :

• A layered composition, with various coloured elements ranging from beige to camel. We instantly think of a wall soiled by time, on which posters or cardboard elements have been stuck and then peeled off.
• It's a detailed composition, with industrial elements and the waste products of a consumer society: cardboard and painted wood.
• Writing painted and stuck on the canvas, relatively algebraic and enigmatic.
• Finally, the central element of this contemporary pop art painting is two interlocking circles succinctly drawn in chalk.

Pop art inspiration?

When you look at the elements that make up this painting, you can see some major influences. The first is Mimo Rotella, whose pop art collages based on posters and cardboard made his name in the 1960s. Then there's his no less famous contemporary, Robert Rauschenberg, who produced paintings in tones that inspired our Round model. A painting similar to Round can be found in the contemporary Round canvas.

When you consider the prices on the art market at the moment, you'll be delighted to find a pop art painting that breaks away from the age-old cliché of the Warhol or Roy Lichtenstein painting, and above all to be able to buy it without breaking the bank!
