Do contemporaries and present-day proponents of pop art canvas truly adhere to the principles that were set by the luminaries of prints? Is there a set of fundamental principles that guide the contemporaries in their production of pop art canvas?
These are the questions that continue to linger on seekers on the history and background on the revolutionary road that that was traveled by a technique known as art.
The Thought
Pop art as a movement started as direct opposition to the exclusivity that was crafted by the high street art of Paris known as Abstract Expressionism. How different and far is the technique of pop art from the art form that they strongly oppose is as distinguishable and discernible as day from night.
Pop Art had moved the results of creativity, talent, and passion. If there would be a set of principles that set prints from other types of art form it is that of its adherence in relativity, liberty, creativity, and non-exclusivity.
As each piece of art is viewed by different perspectives, the same art piece may define sadness and happiness at the same time. In canvas, there is no direction. An artist paints an experience, he did not dictate it.
Relativity may be one of, if not the primary, foundations of canvas. From the methods, medium, and even the means of production, prints and all of its ramifications are known to be limitless.
Creativity means no border, no standard. By continuously re-defining what art is and how it should be, pop art pushes the boundary of our meaning. As for its artists, prints symbolises indefiniteness. Thus, medium and channel to which its artists is endless, incomparable, and unconventional. The evolution of one of its sub-branch known as art is an exemplary evolution of their technique. By being able to accommodate technological advances in order to efficiently and effectively produce art pieces, had altered the exclusivity that is known as art.
Liberty means freedom. And with freedom, one may find unending source of inspiration. And, from this principle would prints source its unconventional method of propagation.
If there would be one thing that canvas could signify, it would be one thing: non-exclusivity. By becoming limitless and accommodating, prints provides opportunities to people who may have the passion but who are afraid of trying. If there is a mission to fulfill, then, pop art would have undergone an almost impossible and daunting task of relaying a belief – that everyone is an artist.
Pop Art Canvas: Completing Pop Art’s Mission
It can be said that canvas had closed the gap between failure and victory. With the availability of the graphic and design software and various reproduction machines, the technique to which canvas can be credited to had, indeed, provided an opportunity for all to take risks and explore a passion known as art. By digitally editing and re-constructing one’s digital photo, a person could apply pop art techniques, such as that of Andy Warhol‘s, in minutes and re-produce a canvas that would be perfect as a wall décor and unique gift piece.
