Robert Johns (Iconic) embraces an in your face, provocative and rebellious pop style which continues where Andy Warhol left off. Robert Johns emerged as one of the hottest; most hyped and collected artists that exhibited at Art Expo NYC 2010. His inspiration is often plucked from the saturated mass media that influence every one of us including the Internet, television, movies, advertising, graffiti and photojournalism. The pop message sometimes invokes humor, establishes a social view, a camp or just an objective observation that leaves it to the observer's imagination. The collection includes beautiful works from several powerful series including: "Sex Sells" - A contemporary collection of iconic and culturally shaping celebrities & brands that maintain sex as its driving force. The timeless iconic work of "Marilyn Kiss" depicts Marilyn Monroe striking a pose as only the first mega sex symbol of our generation could What Defines You"- A provocative twist on definitions while questioning the notion of who gets to say what anything means anyway. "Mugs- The Anti-Celebrity"- The famous, rich & powerful… captured. His depiction of Bonds 756 as a contemporary icon is still a story yet to unfold. "We Approve This Message"- Pop culture and politics. The BS is so deep …break out the f_ _ _ing boots. "Bubba" highlights 5 words that launched one of the greatest Washington sex scandals of all time. "Revolutionaries"- People that walk the walk and talk the talk and change the way we live. Triple Springsteen is Robert John's answer to Warhol's Elvis. Mao Star captures the Chinese leader as a young man long before coming into power and this image never juxtaposed before in a pop themed work. In an artistic sense, the techniques are often precise & mechanical while producing a painterly quality within the imagery. Robert Johns is a rebel that creates iconic masterpieces while pushing the technical limits of painting and fine art screen-printing.
