I love Warhol's aethetics and the philosophy of his art. His brand of popular art elevates the ordinary into artistic pieces - like the Campbell's soup cans and Brillo boxes. His portraits of celebrities, cultural icons and other influential people of his time are a fresh depature from the commonplace or canonical portraits of art schools. As a tribute to his beautiful mind, I turned his portraits into triples with experimental circles of random images and streets vignettes of Manila's Chinatown. The latter were added when I joined two of my artist-friends on a food trip in Binondo.
Behind my face, below my hair, between my ears and just above my throat / There is a factory. But it is upside down. / It's working fine though. / It is big and busy. / All the machines inside are powerful, precise, robust, fast and efficient. / The stuff is skilled, well organized and working day and night. / Its products are the finest on the market. / But there is one flaw: Since the factory is standing on its head / The products it produces are also upside down. / Hence they are useless. / Therefore no one needs or wants them. / And therefore they are labeled "ART".
