"Marriage"

Acrylic work on canvas in pop art style. Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of fine art.Pop removes the material from its context and isolates the object,or combines it with other object,for contemplation.
Pop art often takes as its imagery that which is currently in use in advertising. Product labelling and logs figure
prominently in the imagery chosen by pop artists,like in the Cambell's Soup Cans label,by Andy Warhol. Even the labelling on the shipping carton containing retail items has been used as subject matter  in pop art, for example in Warhol's Campbell's Tomato Juice Box 1964,or his Brillo Soap Box sculptures.
