David Studwell is a contemporary artist, whose work explores the traditional print making processes and cultures of the twentieth century. Taking photographic images of some of the century’s greatest icons and celebrities from Al Capone to Marilyn Monroe Studwell revitalises them with washes of retro colour, for a distinctly Pop Art feel.‘Brigitte Bardot I’ depicts the iconic French actress, her black and white portrait awash with hand filled technicolour tones, a la Warhol's Marilyn. Yellow gold hair, bright red lips and purple clothing converge against a bright blue background, for exceptional aesthetic prowess. Delightfully retro, ’Brigitte Bardot I’ is post Pop Art at its very best.
