NGA - assignment

Pop Art Gallery
This image stood out to be, not only because Elvis is a famous part of history, but also the texture & contrast thoughout the painted image is intence. Just by looking at his eyes you see fear and the expression on his face shows the viewer that his not shore about what's happening.


Painted By Andy Warhol (1963)


Further down the wall from Elvis in the NGA 'Pop Art Gallery' there was this image by the same painter. Along with introducing a catch the eye painting with the colours of the electric chair. It interested me how they placed both these images on the same wall. Relating them to one another, not only because the images were both by the same painter, but also because in a way they both represent death. One being with a fire arm n the other being with a electric chair. They fit together perfectly.

Writing on it a incription from the Qur'an



Java - Tomb Cover



It reads: 'In the name of god, the all merciful, the all compassionate, say: He is god, the one and only; god the eternal, absolute: he begets not, nor is he begotten; and there is none like unto him.'
