Andy Warhol : Abstract Creativity



He took art from a traditional context or meaning  and redefined  it. He challenged how we view art and the question of what constitute and art piece or form. Andy Warhol was very obsessed with repetition and themes. His style was unique and personal and change the art world after World War2.

According to the media, Andy made more than 10,000 art works which has given him fame still after his death.Warhol was very creative and made a lot of experimentation with different kind of media including experimenting with urine to test for how oxidization can recreate  new forms and produce interesting results. He gave meaning to abstract form of painting and action painting.

As a successful artist, Warhol was interested in new things and  had a good sense to learn more. As much as he was interested in consumer culture and commercial form of advertisement, he was fascinated with the youth and how fast technology is helping to define these younger generation.
Even though he was popular, he still engaged himself in social events as a form giving back to society. I think what makes an artist is not simply being great at painting, drawing or whatever interest you but being able to change and adapt make you even  more stronger.

Warhol created a cartoon version of himself yet it seemed like him. It was a mask like Nomi's and MJ's...
