Warhol Inspired

Emulating the iconic characteristics and artistic approach of famous 20th century artist, Andy Warhol, Wesley Channell and Alexis Logwood illustrate their rendition of a classic, yet contemporary style of art through the Warhol Inspired series of the Human Canvas collection. Warhol was known for his amazing use of color seen in many of his works. The Warhol trademark was that of his avant-garde technique involving repetition of imagery using vibrant subjects in a grid-like pattern. He was certainly a master at what he did, thus his craft became commercialized and a visionary for advertising in the 1960s.

Many people did not know Warhol to be a man of strong spiritual belief, though many of his subjects were high-profile celebrities, he understood the superficial nature of the American celebrity culture. Thus, the focus of the Warhol Inspired series emphasizes the beauty of humanity by the medium of body-painted human beings.
