"Pop Art Perks" Corita Kent | Cupfull Collection 8x8 Original Oil (framed)

The Cupfull Collection is here! During July I participated in an Instagram painting challenge with cups inspired by a female artist or designer. It was fun to learn about each creative woman and create a cup inspired by their contribution to art and design.

Day 19/20: This cup painting is inspired by the pop art nun, Corita Kent (1918-1986). She was an artist, educator, and social justice advocate. She entered the religious order Immaculate Heart of Mary at age 18, after earning her BA, began teaching in and then leading the art department at Immaculate Heart College. Her work evolved from figurative and religious to incorporating advertising images and slogans, popular song lyrics, biblical verses, and literature. Much of her work was created through the process of screen printing. I tried to express her style by using bold colors, a bible verse, and imperfect graphic shapes.

“Pop Art Perks” is an original 8”x8” oil painting on a canvas panel. This piece is signed on the front. The painting is wired and framed. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.
