Curatorial Statement: This exhibition explores the vibrant and provoctive world of Pop Art, a movement that emerged in the mid-20th Century as a response to consumer culture and mass media landscape. The artists reject the current ideas of art and embrace bold colors of popular imagery. By incorporating everyday objects and images into their artworks, the artists challenged the traditional notion of art.

The exhibition explores the movement's use of bright, saturated colors and bold graphic elements, as well as its perception of consumerism, advertising and mass media. Through a selection of artworks, this exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries of art and go beyond what is familiar to engage the spirit of Pop Art.

Exhibition Period: 07/25/2025 - 09/23/2025
