This Hollywood pop art exhibit spotlights creative works that draw inspiration from various classic and iconic characters. Shelby and Sandy — a Los Angeles-based brother duo, tap the extensive movie archives of Hollywood studios to bring an entertaining collection that will nostalgically resonate with many.
The Hollywood pop art paintings include nods to superhero franchises like Superman and Spider-Man, sci-fi masterpieces like Star Wars, playful renditions of Buzz and Woody from Toy Story, goofy cult-favorites such as Scary Movie and so on.
The event is debuted in Hong Kong — a first for Shelby and Sandy, and is dubbed 'hollywood' in true minimalist fashion. It is set to run between the 26th and the 31st of March.
