unPOP!

Made from bits of Eduardo Paolozzi’s BUNK! collages

Eduardo Paolozzi’s series of collages called Bunk! are regarded as the template for the Pop Art movement

Full of imagery from the 40s and 50s, their subject matter sits at odds with today’s modern culture. Despite this, pop artists still use images of burlesque nudes, muscle bound men, phallic weaponry and more. It felt like time to unPOP!

This collage was created in reaction to the portrayal of the world in Pop Art and coincided with the boycott by leading crypto artists of a Sotheby’s exhibition due to a lack of female representation
