Two weeks ago, MOCA welcomed Andy Warhol's Shadows, a 102 part painting series. The series consists of silk screen and handpainted canvases featuring two different compositions. The collection was inspired by photographs of shadows taken in Warhol's NYC studio. The positive and negative imprints feature a stunning range of hues with canvases alternating between a black positive on a colored ground and a small colored form on a black background. The overt repetition seen in the series is very Warhol, while the abstract subject and form strays away from his typical use of cultural icons and products. I encourage everyone to attend the exhibition, as it exemplifies many of the design elements we are studying this semester. Shadows runs through February 2, 2015.
