Make Your World Pop! Ardest Gallery Celebrates Pop Art Day

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Ardest Gallery, a fine art gallery located in The Woodlands, Texas is set to celebrate “National Pop Art Day” with a big POP! Join us throughout the week, beginning January 27th, as we share Pop Art trivia on social media, a FREE Zoom backdrop created by local artist Timothy “TB” Murphy, a limited edition puzzle design and a limited pop-art release on Friday, January 31st at 10 a.m.

“The gallery strives to offer creative programming for the community, often inspired by creative hashtags paired with artist or art initiatives. Pop Art Day inspired us to collaborate with a local artist for engaging digital content and conversation, FREE downloads and a limited art release,” shared Julie Verville, Ardest Gallery Director and Curator.

Pop Art launched onto the art scene in Great Britian during the 1950s, quickly becoming an international craze. While artists such as Warhol and Lichtenstein are among the most recognized pop artists, the style is still widely utilized among artists of today.

Pop Art is often characterized for its use of bold colors, simple and often repetitive imagery, with a focus on everyday subjects. Pop artists often draw inspiration from everyday objects from “pop culture”.

“The 5 works by Timothy “TB” Murphy to be released by the gallery in late January highlight a variety of images including common items such as dice and screws, with the highlighted pieces focusing on space exploration and a collage of vintage toys,” shared Verville. “We are thrilled to announce that we will also be releasing the “Toys! Toys! Toys!” piece in puzzle format, kicking off a new collaboration opportunity to raise funds for local organizations throughout the year.

Artist designed puzzles will become available later this year as an effort to collaborate with local non-profit organizations to raise funds. Through these community partnerships, art can truly make a difference in our community.

To follow along during the week leading up to “Pop Art Day,” and for access to FREE digital downloads, follow the gallery on their social media channels. Plus, to fully experience the Pop-Art movement, make plans to stop by to view Murphy’s works in-person.
