Moonlight by Kate Crotty. Artist Inspiration: Peter Blake
Moonlight focuses on the personal journey of Chiron, a young man trying to find himself and his place in the world. It’s a commentary on social ills like poverty, drug abuse, and homophobia. The film is split into three chapters in Chiron’s life, so I incorporated Peter Blake’s use of grids, as well as simplified imagery, to represent the forces that shaped his life. – Kate Crotty
La La Land by Abbey Katz. Artist Inspiration: Eduardo Paolozzi
La La Land is a tribute to old Hollywood musicals and classic jazz but with a modern twist. I felt the colourful collage work of Eduardo Paolozzi matched this feeling of old and new. Just like the film, his work has a feeling of energy and fantasy with serious undertones. – Abbey Katz
Fences by Terrence Morash. Artist Inspiration: Andy Warhol
Watching Fences, I was struck by the frequent presence of a tethered baseball; it seemed to act as a symbol for unfulfilled dreams and stunted potential. I recreated it in the style of Andy Warhol’s gun series. That series was a commentary on culture and mortality, which seemed like a good fit for this poignant film. – Terrance Morash
So there you have it folks, 9 fantastic posters to commemorate Andy Warhol’s work and that will hopefully get you more into the Oscars mood ready for the weekend.
We would love to know which one’s you like the best, let us know in the comments section below.
