The Beatles Grammy Painting by Davo
Born in Los Angeles in 1950, artist Davo is anything but staid and conventional. Despite his deliberate efforts to “obliterate the painter’s touch,” he has an unmistakable talent for delivering a neo-Pop message. His paintings contain recognizable, but bizarrely juxtaposed images. As a result, his artwork is entertaining but thought provoking, repetitive but innovative. His neo-expressionism work is shown with this Beatles painting entitled, “Marilyn In The Sky With Diamonds.” Davo’s obsession with Marilyn is obvious as is his tribute to mentor, Andy Warhol. Davo is an annually invited guest artist for the Grammy Awards and has been the official artist of MusiCares Organization for the past ten years. Each year, the Grammy’s ask him to do the winning portraits, and they are auctioned off for charity. His creations are in many celebrities’ private collections. Davo now resides in Maui, Hawaii. The painting was done in 1998 and is created in acrylic on canvas. It is in superb condition. This is a very special opportunity to have this fabulous, original Davo painting, which is usually reserved for celebrities, grace your walls.
