A quick background check on pop art wall murals
Pop art is an art form that dates back all the way to the '50s. The word pop itself is obviously short for popular,
which literally translated means the technical term for the people, and as such, it is the art for the masses. This
form of modern art originated and has evolved particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom, which you will
see later on in Photowall's assortment of pop art wall murals. Inspired by the perceived visual mediocrity of
advertising campaigns, billboards and television, artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Richard Hamilton
turned to the so-called anti-art campaign wherein they released the banal or dull images of famous actors and
transformed them into an exciting new art form. This reinvention and excitement is carried over to our array of pop art
wall murals, which can transform your ordinary interiors into something new and refreshing in an instant. Take for
instance the motif called Suprematist Portrait of Lena Naymkina. This pop art wall mural immediately draws the eye,
generates optic dynamism and is guaranteed to stir up conversation and debate.
Delving deeper
Since pop art is a form of painting and drawing that allows a great amount of natural expression, many samples in this
category highlight both ordinary objects or people, but also figures or structures that are known and famous. A lot of
pop artists were also illustrators, graphic designers and even billboard painters. Their work would contain objects
inside the paintings, such as soup cans, work tools or natural objects like seashells. As such, pop art wall murals
feature a range of ideas and characters. The piece entitled Beatles - Revolver is a concrete example of a pop art wall
mural that gets better with every viewing. No matter if the space you are revamping is residential, corporate or
recreational, this will captivate anyone who sets eyes upon it.
The impact of pop art wall murals on your interior
As it is contemporary art, pop art fits in well with a number of decor schemes in a home or workplace. It is a mostly
inoffensive subject which can be tastefully displayed and colour-coordinated with the walls and surrounding interior
elements such as furniture and so on. To visually establish a pop art wall mural, there is a particular notion to
consider. The central idea of pop art wall murals is not just to beautify your interiors alone, but also provide a
commentary about culture and society through popular logos, images and icons which are then recreated as though they
are a recent and new idea inside the picture. As you will see in our pop art wall murals samples, what many find
specifically likeable about this art form is that while it tries not to take itself too seriously, it sometimes conveys
a deeper, more meaningful message. To select a piece of pop art wall murals is to become part of the culture behind it,
which means that what you choose may be a reflection of your own perception and belief.
