RuPaul Pop Art Painting

"Pantone 18-4006 Quiet Shade" (RuPaul) | Acrylic and Swarovski crystal on Masonite | 2019

Imagine Ru staring you down every morning with opera glasses and asking, “If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” Well, maybe that's exactly what you need! Part of the Pantone Series, this piece is painted in acrylic and Swarovski crystal on masonite; measures 6" W x 6" H. These pieces come wired and ready to hang; and are meant to look like larger Pantone-inspired chips when installed.

The Pantone Series began in 2016 for Rochester Contemporary Art Center’s annual 6x6 Exhibition and fundraiser; and was prompted by Pantone’s Color of the Year announcement. It involves juxtaposing a celebrity with a Pantone color chip that somehow relates to that person.
