Artist's Description
ICON is from my -Girl, Woman, Girl- series. The woman is Marilyn Marks who I met in NYC. I see her image replacing Marilyn Monroe as the ideal American Woman: dark, of uncertain ethnic origins. In 1962 Warhol painted his famous-Marilyn-, blonde, blue-eyed, and openly sexual. A tacit promise to American men.
ICON represents all women who celebrate both their beauty and self-awareness. The painting brings in visual references to other artists. Yellow and green are echoes of Warhol's Marilyn. The yellow "borrows" from the blonde. The lips are Tom Wesselmann, and the drips a faint reference to Pollock.
About Kevin Callahan
My philosophy is simple: Composition, Story, Elegant Line. "If you find the elegant line, your work will be lyrical." I produce works in pencil, acrylic, watercolor, found objects, and digital photography. I completed a Painting Intensive at the San Francisco Art Institute, studying with world renown Israeli artist Larry Abramson and at at the Ox-Bow School of the Art Institute Chicago under Phil Hanson and Michelle Grabner. I earned my BFA from Drake University in Des Moines, IA. My studies included an emphasis in painting and printmaking. My work is hanging in private collections throughout the United States and Europe. In 2009 I received the Tony Award, a traveling art award honoring individual artists on Fine Art...
