Polly Wants A Purchase Acrylic Monoprint (Mounted)
Polly Wants A Purchase is a colorful piece measuring 10“ x 8”. Crafted using acrylic monoprint on paper and mounted on an artist's board, the piece features a cockatoo dressed in eye-catching business attire. The cockatoo, with its prominent black beak and white plumage accented with a touch of yellow on the crest, is anthropomorphized through a purple suit jacket, teal shirt, and a tie emblazoned with a dollar sign emblem, complemented by a dollar sign pin on its lapel.
The background adds to the dynamic nature of the piece, consisting of textured radial beams in shades of teal and cream that radiate from behind the cockatoo. This gives the artwork a lively, almost comic-book aesthetic. The juxtaposition of the bird clad in a suit creates an amusing and striking visual impact, making a playful commentary on fashion and consumerism.
One of the unique aspects of this artwork lies in its creation process. The cockatoo's suit is a collagraph/collage made from fashion mailers, while the head is an original illustration, both printed using a gel plate. The blend of these techniques results in a piece that is both thought-provoking and visually captivating, embodying the essence of Pop Surrealism.
