Details: Allison Malikowski was commissioned by The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University to transform a squirrel into an iconic symbol of the Pop Art movement. Wham, a permanent exhibit that will be unveiled in 2009 at the museum, will display famous works of Andy Warhol and other well known artists of the pop art culture in art. Warhol’s famous print Flowers was an obvious choice for Ms. Malikowski. She states, the unevenness of the squirrel lends itself to the rambling edges of the hibiscus blossoms. POP ARThur represents the bold and daring works of Warhol’s interpretation of reality during the 60’s and 70’s.
