Art Series: "Icons Reimagined"

In this extraordinary art series, the artist takes the viewer on a journey through art history by reinterpreting well-known album covers, famous subjects, and iconic comic characters through the lens of legendary artists like Keith Haring, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and others. Each piece in this series masterfully blends elements of pop culture with the unmistakable signature style of a renowned artistic master.

At first glance, one recognizes the original motif—be it a legendary album cover, a world-famous movie scene, or a beloved comic character. But upon closer inspection, the brilliant transformation is revealed: The artist has captured the essence of each famous artist and woven it into the original motif. Thus, the sharp, energetic lines of Keith Haring suddenly appear on a classic album cover, while a comic character is reborn in Picasso’s characteristic cubist form.

The textures and colors in the images evoke the brushstroke whirlwind of Van Gogh, adding a new dynamism and depth to the scenes depicted. Other works in the series play with the surreal forms of Salvador Dalí, where the artist employs distortions and dreamscapes to elevate the original motif into an entirely new dimension.

By skillfully combining the styles and techniques of these great artists, the artist succeeds in highlighting the connections between pop culture and high art. The series emphasizes how the characteristics of art history live on and are reinterpreted in contemporary visual culture.

Each piece in this series is a homage to the great masters and a celebration of pop culture—an invitation to view art and the everyday in a new light.

Emma Wildfang is a young Pop-Art street artist. Her artworks are scattered in collections all over the world. She manages to create a very special vintage style. After attending the master class, the artist has been self-taught since 2002. Her constant search for new techniques and means of expression made it almost imperative for her to now also deal with spatial structures as a sculptor. Due to the restlessness and instability of her creative process she lives up to the name Wildfang. However, in all of her works, Wildfang does not seek the perfect, symmetrically idealized work, but finds beauty instead in the fragmented, in the detail, and in the enigmatic. Her way of working is to find perfection in the imperfect.

The artwork comes directly from the studio of the artist.
