“Art is anything you can get away with.”
Andy Warhol
Dive into the vibrant world of Andy Warhol at this immersive event hosted at the Banksy Museum, where the intersection of two groundbreaking artists comes to life. Learn the captivating story of Warhol’s Factory, his iconic New York City studio that became the epicenter of creativity, collaboration, and cultural transformation. This legendary space hosted a mix of artists, musicians, socialites, and visionaries who together revolutionized the boundaries of art and self-expression.
This event will explore Warhol’s indelible impact on Pop Art and his enduring influence on contemporary artists—most notably Banksy. Discover how Banksy, the enigmatic street artist, channels art history in his work, drawing parallels to Warhol’s aesthetic and approach. The event will delve into Banksy’s Kate Moss series, a clever reinterpretation of Warhol’s celebrated Marilyn Monroe silkscreens. Both series spotlight cultural icons of their respective eras, offering a provocative commentary on celebrity, consumerism, and the art world itself.
Following the introduction, attendees will have the opportunity to create their own artwork using silkscreen techniques, featuring the iconic faces of Marilyn Monroe and Kate Moss, while adding unique bold bold colors and a personal touch.
