About The Work
Perhaps the greatest modern purveyor of art-based iconography, the highly-stylized silkscreen images of Andy Warhol have become internationally recognized for their graphic charm, vibrant color and cultural reference. A fresh, Pop twist on the art-historical tradition of still life and portrait painting, these images evince Warhol’s deliberate use of shadow and negative as a central compositional element. In this limited edition collaboration between Tim Bessell and the Warhol Foundation, an image from the Flowers series is featured on one of Bessell’s custom, hand-shaped surfboards. The imagery for this floral series is adapted from a photograph taken by Patricia Caulfield. It displays a Mandrinette, which is a highly rare species of hibiscus plant.
