“We’ll Rise” – Pop Art Painting

For my pop art painting, I really wanted to incorporate politics into it since it has definitely become a huge part of pop culture.  My piece was inspired by the response to the US presidential election, more specifically, The Women’s March.  In this painting I wanted to concentrate on minorities.  There are four different portraits of women.  One Black, one Muslim, one Native American and the last Latina. I wanted to have my art portray women as strong and powerful since I remember hearing that most often, pop art portrayed women as sex objects.  I wanted to give more of a modern take on how women should be viewed today.
