Pop Art By Olan Montgomery

"POP ART was marked by a fascination with popular culture reflecting the affluence in post-war society in the 50's & 60's. It was most prominent in American art. In celebrating everyday objects such as soup cans, washing powder, comic strips and soda pop bottles.  The movement turned the commonplace into icons. By definition POP ART is  an art movement in the 50's through the 70's that incorporated modern popular culture and the mass media.  -OLAN 2008

  

  

  

 

My work has a simple message: see the individual through color and light. by doing so, one's individuality can be more fully understood.  -OLAN

Hot

Hot, rushing anger. It flows through your veins and pulses through your hands. Those two appendages that once gave life will now take it back. They will now destroy. The anger twists around your heart with its tentacles of black and squeezes until there is nothing left. You can only feel the lump rising in your throat as the hot tears stream slowly down your face. Your nose begins to clog and you can hardly draw in air. Because that anger is squeezing the air from your lungs like a balloon, slowly drifting into the sky. Your mind begins to wander off into all the other times you've been so hot, and angry with passion. You lift a pencil, a pen, no a knife, and think of all the sick and twisted things you could do with such a common instrument if used in times of anger. Then you look down at the zipper in the crotch of your pants and think about all the times that's been let down to release your anger on the person whose made you angry.

MONSTERS IN MY BED

It's always the same

Sa bahay, sa parlor, sa motel.

the walls start to close in.

and I start to die a little each time.

Sabi ni Tito he'll buy me icecream.

Pero maglalaro muna kami.

I was nine.

He made me a human toy.

I WAS NINE YOU BASTARD!
