Defined by its infusion of imagery from mass media and the American zeitgeist, The first Pop Art movement rose to prominence in America in the late 1950s and early 1960s which influenced the new generation of artists included in this exhibition. The Pop Art & Graffiti artists work is documented for its innovative techniques and sensibilities that appealed to heightened interests of mechanical reproduction applying various media including traditional brush painting, poured paint, spray paint on 2D canvas, and 3D sculpture. However, despite the adoption of the visual language of mass culture and consumerism, from digital media and pop cartoons to magazine and social media advertisements, Pop artists today continued to foreground the medium of painting surfaces in their practices.
