Four Marilyns (Yellow/Orange/Pink/Blue) - Screenprint on Canvas

Four Marilyns (Yellow/Orange/Pink/Blue) by WarHo™ is a 2024 screenprint on canvas that multiplies the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe into a bold, color-blocked grid. Arranged in a 2x2 square formation, each portrait occupies its own quadrant and tonal world: vibrant yellow, searing orange, electric pink, and saturated blue. The repetition is deliberate—not just a formal exercise, but a meditation on fame, image, and the endless permutations of cultural memory. The larger-than-life scale—44 x 44 inches—amplifies the effect, turning the work into both homage and spectacle.

True to WarHo™’s signature method, each portrait is pulled by hand from screens made using the original Gene Korman publicity photo, which is now in the public domain. The use of acrylic polymer paint and silkscreen ink allows the surface to remain flat and graphic, emphasizing the mechanical nature of the image. Yet each color shift alters Monroe’s mood: the yellow is bright and playful, the orange assertive, the pink saturated with intensity, and the blue cool and detached. Together, they form a chorus of personas—variations of the same face, refracted through the pop palette.

In Four Marilyns, WarHo™ leans fully into the logic of repetition that defined Warhol’s early screenprints, while injecting a palette that feels unmistakably contemporary. The work doesn’t just ask us to look at Monroe again—it asks us to notice how we look, and how often. Repetition becomes a kind of reverence, and a kind of erasure—one that WarHo™ captures with both precision and play.
