For me, much of Andy Warhol’s work seems to be concerned with surface and what, if anything, lies beneath. As each print is produced, small flaws emerge conveying a sense of decay across the work - it is also greatly concerned with American identity. I see much of Warhol’s work as a reflection of what he feels America to be at the time of each work’s inception, from a giant hamburger, to stardust ‘Shadows’ presenting a macabre disco decor. I have sought to adapt this reflection to today’s America, literally reflecting the President, Donald Trump back to us, the people. Taking this reflection, I have written small jingles, selling some of these genuine Trump products. Using largely his own language, I seek to portray not only the success of consumerism, but also the unnerving decay with which it, and Trump seems to lay beneath the surface.
