Cosmic Pop Culture Art

Nicholas Redfunkovich Transforms Actors, Musicians and Politicians

— October 6, 2014 — Pop Culture
Nicholas Redfunkovich creates pop culture art that transforms famous actors, musicians and monarchs into space suit-wearing astronauts. Whether celebrating Patrick Stweart's role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation or paying homage to Queen Elizabeth II of England, these cosmic portraits defy tradition.

In addition to his Patrick Stewart and Queen Elizabeth portraits, these collaged works also feature musicians like David Bowie and Kurt Cobain along with beloved U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

Nicholas Redfunkovich creates spectacular and pop culture art pieces that are both vivid and captivating in their aesthetic. His colorful canvases reinvent traditional portraits of the stars we love and superimpose them with oversized space suits and a backdrop of star-lit vignettes.
