| Inspired by Warhol's Artistic Style |
My inspiration for the self portraiture was no other than Andy Warhol, himself. He was an artistic figure that influenced me to model as a unique conventional artist. I decided to put on my sunglasses to resemble his persona. Also, included a cosmic background to resemble the vivid pop art colors. The artwork expressed alot about himself, but he was his own canvas of artistry. "The idea that character and personality are both immanent in appearance still exerts a strong influence even though it is riddled with ambiguities" (Finkelstein 129). This quote defines the literal meaning of his 'self invention' being portrayed into many interpretations in his work. He was not the typical individual to fit in with the crowd instead he embraced his personality with criticism along the way.
