// Icarus by Allan D'Arcangelo is a vibrant serigraph that juxtaposes iconic American symbols with elements of mythology, creating a complex narrative about ambition, power, and cultural identity. The composition features a stylized female figure seated nude, her gaze directed downward in contemplation. Surrounding her are various bold symbols: a U.S. rocket, the American flag, a lion’s head in profile, and a large ruler. At the bottom of the image, a helmeted astronaut with the name ICARUS on his helmet visor stares directly outward, referencing the myth of Icarus—who flew too close to the sun. The imagery suggests a collision of modern technological advancement with the timeless theme of human hubris and aspiration. D'Arcangelo's use of sharp lines, bold colors, and pop-art style intensifies the surreal quality, inviting viewers to reflect on the paradoxes within cultural identity, ambition, and the potential perils of progress.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
