Robert Mars

Robert Mars stands as a vanguard in the contemporary art world, his work a vibrant homage to the golden era of American popular culture. With an eye for the distinct facets of 1950s and 60s iconography, Mars crafts artwork that celebrates the commonplace objects and icons of a bygone America in a thoroughly modern and exquisitely constructed manner.

In Mars' world, figures like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, and Elvis Presley reign supreme. These personalities, untouched by the instant fame of the digital age, are reimagined and immortalized through Mars' unique artistic lens. His work invites viewers to reflect on a time when visual information wasn't constantly bombarding millions, and the myth of the unique, untouchable celebrity still held sway over the public imagination.

More recently, his art has shifted towards the culture of celebrity, demonstrating a striking attunement to the enduring resonance of these larger-than-life personalities in contemporary culture. With a mastery that earns him comparisons to Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Richard Diebenkorn, Robert Mars continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
