Pop Art is an art movement which arrose from the consumerism of the middle of the 20th Century.  There have been a range of Pop Art studios out there. There is also a range of software that can help you create a studio of your own.

 It took popular culture, icons, adverts, comics and images and turned, twisted, changed and edited many parts of these popular images.





Often using many different types of materials, new printing techniques and a range of paint styles, it set new trends across the 3 main decades of its popularity; the 1960s, 1970's and 1980s. The movement today spans the globe, but predominantly started in Britain and America in the late 1950's as the post war consumer boom began. Popart is not just Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, although they were incredibly important, it is far more than that, and delves within the underlying point of our culture at all. Art reflecting life at the rawest point, analysing the point of it all and artists asking the questions of philosophers.




Pop Art was very bold in style and used incredible colours, patterns and iconography in its creation. One such creation was Jasper Johns American Flag created in 1957.


Questions posed by Pop Art images are often about the reasons why we apply such importance to things, objects, new products etc.  Pop Art coincided with a number of other popular art movements including abstract expressionism during the 20th century.

There are a number of reasons Pop Art remains popular today and they centre mainly around the quality of the images and the approaches people take to their daily lives.
