Pop Art is expression and rambling, an unusual view of ordinary objects, a reduction to interior advertising, a lack of consistency and logic. The experimental palette, the decoration, the disregard for accepted standards in everything. Shock is another synonym for style.
Pop Art emerged as an art movement in England in the mid-1900s as a reaction to abstract painting, which its proponents considered too complex and elitist. It was influenced by the nihilistic trend of Dadaism in the early twentieth century, whose proponents promoted an alternative view of art. The essence of Dadaism, as explained by one of the trend leaders, Marcel Duchamp, was that any object, the most mundane and trivial, displayed on the runway of a showroom, would become an object of art. This statement turned the perception of “art” on its head and was the starting point for the emergence of Pop Art.
Andy Warhol was one of the founders of the style and its most prominent spokesman. For a long time, he worked in advertising, but he never found recognition as an artist. However, he grew up inconspicuous. Fame came to Warhol through a painting that was questionable in terms of real art – reproduced in soup cans of various colors. And his work “Fountain” (an ordinary urinal), exhibited at an art exhibition in New York in 1917, became one of the ugliest so-called “readymade objects” elevated to the status of art.
“I painted this way and not that way because I wanted to be a machine, and I felt that what I was doing by comparing it to a machine was what I wanted to do,” Andy Warhol admitted.
From then on, the hallmark of the style was painting, actively using images of Coca-Cola cans and Campbell’s soup, as well as celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Mao Tse-tung So billboards and billboards, comic books, posters, and graffiti, recognizable to everyone, became the art objects of the 1960s.
Today, Pop Art is a style that defies the template, rebels against tradition, and is bold but emphasizes the illusion of shape and space.
Optical effects play a huge role in interior architecture, with bold experiments on materials, visual images, and space. New production techniques are sought based on mass (cheap) production and the most individualized consumer styles.
The walls are unchanging collages and paintings, massed or focused on the eye. Accent wall lights appear unexpectedly, illuminating the room and revealing wall drawings or simple advertising posters. Images appear and disappear, creating a visual illusion. This technique “deprives” the room of its volume, which is difficult to define in this light show.
The fixtures are bright, neon, and come in a range of light intensities and color schemes – made in different styles – but they have one thing in common: their color schemes are always an accent part of the room’s overall design.
A backlit wall visually expands the room, and a ceiling with additional lighting enhances the effect. Natural, glossy surfaces are an essential attribute of the style.
Pop Art is a man-made, mass-produced world; materials are chosen in the same spirit: synthetics, plastics, paper, metal. Everything that is available everywhere, everything that is not very expensive.
All kinds of techniques and quirks in design are used. We encourage a lot of detail and interesting nuances. For example, a repeated object reinforces its importance, as one of the rules of Pop Art says. One object is good, but a hundred identical objects are even better. And fragrant flowers in tall jars or bottles are an exquisite decoration in this interior.
Despite its unconventional nature, Pop Art tends to be eclectic and blends well with other styles, but one thing that remains constant is the emphasis on creative installation and stylistic expression. The main thing is the direct expression of feelings and emotions and the individuality of the perception of reality.
The image of style is made in contrast, but it should shock, excite and evoke a sea of emotions. Color palette: floral, colorful, and colorful. Pop Art style interiors are a combination of edginess and lack a hint of spirituality, shine, and simplicity.
The combination of colors can even be seen on the ceiling – white and red, white and black are very much in the spirit of Pop Art.
The development of Pop Art took place during the heyday of constructivism. The function of the room is very important. The living room is the place for gatherings, creative meetings, celebrations, and relaxation.
The amount of furniture should be kept to a minimum. Typical sofas, armchairs, and circular couches in eye-catching, brightly colored plastic chairs and tables. Pull-out beds, Sacco pneumatic chairs, and Joe’s sofas are welcome in the interior.
There are no cabinets at all. Clothes are stored in niches, on catwalks, or in built-in closets, which are also very ergonomic.
Wall shelves are open shelves. Space partitioned bar counters with multi-colored bases were used. For the floor, tiles that imitate wood or two colors, laid in a staggered manner are appropriate, there is no need to choose only black and white.
Walls are plaster, concrete, natural stone, or brick. Ceramic tiles with these surface textures will work perfectly.
The author’s imagination turns something simple and inexpensive into a design piece. Brilliant textures and colorful patterns are the means of expression. Provocation and kitsch, irony and fantasy, and the pervasive breaking of stereotypes are the driving forces.
