Marilyn Monroe (Pink) - Screenprint with Black Diamond Dust on Canvas 20" x 20"

Marilyn Monroe (Pink) by WarHo™ is a 2025 screenprint on canvas that reimagines the iconic visage of Marilyn Monroe through the bold, immersive lens of contemporary pop art. Rendered in a vivid monochromatic pink, the portrait vibrates with immediacy and glamour. The tightly cropped composition, combined with the grainy halftone texture and shimmering black diamond dust, evokes the glossy spectacle of celebrity while simultaneously suggesting its ephemeral, glittering illusion. The image is arresting in its simplicity—stripped of realism, yet rich with iconographic power.

WarHo™ channels the legacy of Andy Warhol with an almost forensic devotion to process. Like Warhol, he employs screenprinting as both medium and metaphor: a method of reproduction that doubles as a commentary on mass media, fame, and cultural repetition. By constructing his own screens and pulling each print by hand, WarHo™ embraces the imperfections that arise in manual production, highlighting the tension between mechanized image-making and artisanal craftsmanship. The use of diamond dust—luxurious yet artificial—not only underscores the work’s fascination with surface beauty and commodified allure, but also pays quiet homage to Rupert Jasen Smith, Warhol’s master printer, who first introduced the technique into the Warhol studio’s repertoire.

This piece stands at the intersection of tribute and reinterpretation. It celebrates the lasting appeal of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe artworks while asking us to think about how her image—and celebrity in general—gets recycled over time. Marilyn Monroe (Pink) is both a nod to the past and a product of now, inviting viewers to enjoy the sparkle while reflecting on the legacy behind the shine.
