Marilyn Monroe (Light Blue) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that casts the iconic Hollywood portrait in soft tonal harmony. Set against a serene light blue background, the familiar face of Monroe emerges in deep navy ink, her expression hovering between poise and enigma. The minimalism of the composition—absent of glitter or embellishment—creates a quiet intensity, allowing the interplay of line, shadow, and screen-printed texture to take center stage. The result is clean, graphic, and cool-toned, evoking a sense of stillness that balances fame with form.
True to WarHo™’s practice, this piece is pulled by hand from original screens the artist created himself, using the same Gene Korman publicity photograph that Warhol famously adapted in his own work. WarHo™ approaches the silkscreen process as both tribute and technique—honoring the mechanics of pop image-making while allowing space for each print to carry its own subtle variation. In this version, color becomes the message: light blue lends a sense of quiet remove, suggesting distance not just in time but in tone.
Without the visual noise of adornment, Marilyn Monroe (Light Blue) invites viewers to contemplate the image itself—the beauty, the repetition, and the flattening that fame demands. It’s a portrait of a symbol, but one delivered with restraint and clarity. WarHo™ gives us not just a star, but the screen that made her shine.
