BURTON MORRIS - RECENT WORKS AT THE POP GALLERY


Artist Burton Morris’ paintings put an energetic and colorful spin on today’s culture. In his post-Pop style, Morris boldly projects an enticing mood of high energy and optimism portraying images that people relate to in everyday life. “I want to inspire and intrigue my audience by challenging the way they look at everyday objects around us.”

He first gained national attention in the mid 1990s when his artwork was chosen to hang on the set of the NBC hit television series “Friends.” Over the years, his artwork has been selected for the 76th Academy Awards®, the Paris World Cup Soccer Games, the 38th Montreux Jazz Festival, the 2004 Summer Olympic Games and the 2006 MLB All-Star Game. He has created signature artwork for Absolut Vodka, H.J. Heinz Corporation, Chanel and Kellogg’s Corporation among many others. In addition, Morris’ artwork has raised millions of dollars for countless charities worldwide. 

Burton Morris original artworks are displayed internationally and are featured in the collections of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, The Jimmy Carter Center, The United Nations and the Elysée collection. One-man exhibitions include Sotheby’s of Amsterdam and the International Olympic Museum.

Peter Mars has been the leader of Chicago's Avant Pop Movement for the past twenty years. Combining avant garde innovation with a deep Pop Art sensibility, Mars fuses and confuses the traditional distinctions between high culture and low art. The artist's sensibilities fall somewhere between Dada and Pop or as Mars puts it himself: "In that area where nonsense and popular culture so frequently meet."

Using the joy and nostalgia that can be found in everyday objects, Mars explores American pop culture, the passage of time, and the icons that each period adopts as its own.

Peter's work has been represented by Pop International for many years and can be found in the collections of Nate Berkus (Oprah Winfrey’s interior designer), Sheryl Crow, Michael Jordan, Betsey Johnson, Sandra Bernhard, Halo Industries, Tow Records, The Redwalls, Carroll Shelby’s Children’s Foundation, The Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert, and the John Heinz Waller family among many others.
