pops artist statement sq sp.jpg
 

The medium is not the message:  Ideas and spectacle help define contemporary art.   Sonny Pops uses a variety of media depending on the image.  One of the challenges was studying the work and methods of the most influential pop artists and trying to incorporate their approach to art-making, but with a Hawaiian twist.

Why Sonny Pops?

I hope that it makes you smile. The name is effervescent, tropical and fun. My parents never called me Sonny and my kids never called me Pops so the name is strictly a nom de brush. I think of it literally, as the son of pop art.

Sonny Pops is an attitude, a
point of view.

I like parties, but not political parties. I prefer parodies. Welcome to my parody.

About collateral6.jpg

When I survey the art in Hawaii, I see many lovely things - beautiful paintings; some truly inspired work. But what I don’t see, and what appears to be missing in this market, was work in the idiom that helped to define the 60’s - Pop Art.
