The Creations of Jason Salavon in Postpopism: The Contemporary Cultural Zeitgeist and Progression of Warhol’s Pop Art into the Realm of New Media
“I think every painting should be the same size and the same color so they’re all interchangeable and nobody thinks they have a better painting... And if the one ‘master painting’ is good, they’re all good. Besides, even when the subject is different, people always paint the same painting.”— Andy Warhol “When you start to think about you’re one of six and a half billion individuals—what uniqueness means in that kind of context… This idea that one’s identity is defined by the choices they make, the car they drive, the clothes they buy, the kind of couch they have—as one of the many ways of representing one’s identity, is interesting to me…” — Jason Salavon
