Marilyn on Double Pepsi AP Online

Originally from Bangkok, Pakpoom Silaphan studied Fine Art before moving to London to study at Camberwell College of Art and Chelsea College of Art. His mixed media collages, which examine mass consumerism and globalisation, have quickly established him as leading name in the Pop Art world.

Citing Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali as his main influences, Pakpoom is known for fusing Western brand logos and celebrity icons, with themes from his upbringing in rural Thailand. He describes his images as ‘visual memories of his childhood’, demonstrating the enduring power of advertising.

This piece depicts Marilyn Monroe staring up in wonder at two Pepsi adverts. It is from a limited edition of just 10, signed and numbered by the artist.
