Contemporary artist Dirty Hans cites Toulouse Lautrec and Lichtenstein amongst his greatest influences an unlikely pairing of art greats, the result is Dirty Hans’ own unique and striking aesthetic, by turns gritty and poppy, in artful measures. His work riffs off 1950s pop culture, from music to movies to magazines, updating Pop Art styles with an innovative combination of acrylic and spray paint on canvas, merged with digital techniques. ‘New York Goes Pop’ depicts the streets of New York, filled with an array of cultural allusions from superheroes to Star Wars to the Sex Pistols and even Lichtenstein gets a look in! the Big Apple has never looked so vibrant!
