Marilyn Monroe (Light Blue) - Screenprint with Black Diamond Dust on Canvas 40" x 40"

Marilyn Monroe (Light Blue) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that reimagines the legendary face of Marilyn Monroe through a cooler, more contemplative lens. Rendered in icy monochromatic blue and layered with shimmering black diamond dust, the portrait shifts the mood from bold glamour to quiet allure. The composition remains tightly cropped and iconic, but the emotional tone deepens—the palette evokes a sense of distance and introspection, offering a new reading of Monroe’s image as both luminous and elusive.

WarHo™'s process-driven homage to Andy Warhol replicates not only the aesthetic but also the method behind Warhol’s iconic silkscreens. Each piece begins with the same Gene Korman publicity photo that Warhol famously used—now in the public domain—and is meticulously pulled by hand from original screens. This hands-on approach embraces the slight imperfections that lend texture and individuality to every print. The use of diamond dust, a visual signature of Warhol’s later work introduced by master printer Rupert Jasen Smith, adds another layer of historical resonance. In WarHo™’s hands, it becomes a tribute not just to the myth of Monroe, but to the craftsmanship behind her most enduring image.

This piece sits at the intersection of nostalgia and reinterpretation. It draws from the legacy of Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe while introducing a quieter, more celestial tone—reminding us that even the most reproduced faces can still hold mystery. Marilyn Monroe (Light Blue) invites viewers to look again, to find new meaning in a familiar icon, and to reflect on how image, myth, and memory continue to evolve in the present day.
