Mona Meets Mr. Warhol by Karen G. Fisher
This work was inspired by Andy Warhol's famous "faces" paintings—referring to his iconic celebrity portraits or repeated facial images. Karen created the Mona Lisa using batik fabrics in different color combinations. She achieved a painterly effect with expert machine applique.
For reference, Andy Warhol's most famous "faces" painting is from his Marilyn Monroe series. The Marilyn works (starting in 1962 shortly after her death) are widely regarded as his most recognizable and celebrated "faces" depictions. Here is a collection of silkscreen prints from Weng Contemporary Gallery:
