Andy Warhol: The Last Decade

If you are in the New York area and have never been to Target 1st Saturdays, you are truly missing out on so much fun. The first Saturday of every month, Target sponsors various FREE activities and events at the Brooklyn Museum. They have various activities depending on the theme of the month. This month is dedicated to a legend, Andy Warhol. The Andy Warhol: The Last Decade exhibit goes until September 12, 2010, but this weekend we were able to view it for free. We also viewed other exhibits, watched an incredible art battle by four talented artist, watched some karaoke, and met up with a few friends. Here are some photos from the festivities.

This is for the painting above. It pretty much states that Andy Warhol urinated all over a bunch of canvases, mixed his urine with metallic paint to create these master pieces.

Here are photos of the artist from the art battle. They artist had 15 minutes to complete a painting…it was definitely a joy to watch.

Concep– Watching him work was truly amazing. There was an element of surprise to his work. The image was unexpected, but the end product was extremely powerful. It also helped that he was a cutie lol. I do not know much about painting and I do admire artist for this, but this man can blend his colors lol. I know that is something strange to notice, but you had to see him in action to truly understand what I mean.

Lexi Bella– Her portrait of Marilyn Monroe is phenomenal. I think black and white paintings and photographs are timeless. She truly captured the essence of Marilyn Monroe.

Antony Zito– Another great artist and people were blown away by this creation. What I loved most about his painiting was the jacket because of the color red. I am not a fan of red, but it is a power color and it shows in this painting.
Marthalicia Matarrita– Iwasn’t able to get a picture of her finished painting, but from what I did see, she was moved by the music. She was definitely in her groove while creating this abstract piece. She was off to a great start (sorry I don’t have final photos)
