Marilyn Monroe (Light Blue) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that casts the legendary image of Monroe in a palette of serene, monochromatic light blue. The crisp silkscreened portrait, rendered in rich black ink, floats against a soft, sky-toned background—less a backdrop than an atmosphere. The cool hue softens the iconicity of the image, lending it a meditative quality that feels less about celebrity and more about presence.
As with all of WarHo™’s works, the image is screenprinted by hand from custom screens based on the original Gene Korman publicity photograph famously adapted by Warhol. The use of acrylic polymer paint preserves the flat, luminous finish of the background, giving the piece a graphic precision while allowing the halftone texture of the portrait to remain visible and tactile. Here, light blue becomes more than color—it acts as filter, calming the high-contrast composition into something quieter and more introspective.
In Marilyn Monroe (Light Blue), WarHo™ invites us to encounter Monroe not as myth, but as motif—an image distilled and held still within a cool, reflective field. It’s a portrait that doesn’t demand attention but holds it, radiating a quiet clarity that lingers.
