Pop Art Realism Paintings

Vonn Sumner Creates Highly Imaginative Images

— May 28, 2013 — Art & Design
If you are someone who becomes transfixed by artworks that perplex your mind and make your head tilt with wonder as you look at them then you will enjoy these Vonn Sumner paintings. In this series -- like most of his other works -- he paints darkly playful solitude. He depicts people in an emotionally quizzical way. Vonn Sumner will pique your imagination no matter how subconsciously far you've packed it away with these neat pop art realism paintings.

This series is brightly modern and comically cynical. What I love about these minimalist paintings by Vonn Sumner is the use of empty space, which forces you to fill in the blanks on your own. The artist doesn't give too much of his mind away, but enough to make you want to connect the dots with your own imagination.

Trend Themes
1. Pop Art Realism - An emerging trend in art, combining elements of pop art and realism, creating both visually striking and thought-provoking imagery.
2. Emotionally Quizzical Depictions - A trend wherein artists depict subjects in a way that makes one question their emotional state and invites interpretation.
3. Use of Negative Space - A trend in minimalist art that uses empty space to encourage the viewer to fill in their own interpretation of the piece.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - These trends present opportunities for emerging artists seeking to stand out in a crowded art and design market.
2. Advertising and Marketing - The visually striking nature of pop art realism and the emotionally engaging aspect of emotionally quizzical depictions make these trends ideal for advertising and marketing campaigns.
3. Interior Design - The minimalism and thought-provoking nature of these trends can be used to decorate interior spaces that inspire contemplation and creativity.
