{"product_id":"pop-black","title":"Pop! Black","description":"Created for \u003ci\u003eIcons in Bloom\u003c\/i\u003e, Burton Morris’ first Los Angeles solo exhibition in over fifteen years at Mash Gallery, \u003ci\u003ePop! Black\u003c\/i\u003e from the \u003ci\u003ePop! x Bang!\u003c\/i\u003e series reflects a pivotal shift in the artist’s contemporary pop art practice. Known internationally for bold outlines and sharply defined pop imagery, Morris has historically favored graphic precision and clean visual impact. In this new body of work, he introduces layered surfaces, tonal variation, and process-driven energy that expand Morris’ visual language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe signature popcorn box, long embedded in Morris’ pop vocabulary, is reimagined as a vessel overflowing with roses. Inspired by a ceramic popcorn vase created by the artist’s daughter, the composition merges pop culture iconography with personal narrative. The result is both celebratory and intimate. The floral lace-like background introduces ornamental density, recalling the serial repetition of Andy Warhol, while pushing contemporary pop art painting toward greater abstraction and materiality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy transforming a cinematic snack into a symbol of beauty and affection, Morris redefines Pop Art beyond consumer commentary. \u003ci\u003ePop! Black\u003c\/i\u003e positions contemporary pop art within fine art discourse, emphasizing emotion, memory, and symbolic endurance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/Av6J37_FVis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Av6J37_FVis\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Burton Morris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645541605740,"sku":null,"price":12000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/files\/Pop-Black-1-scaled_jpg.webp?v=1776881847","url":"https:\/\/www.mashgallery.com\/products\/pop-black","provider":"MASH Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
