// Nelson Leirner’s Rio 2016 - Golf (2013) is a mixed media artwork that humorously reimagines a golf course. The piece is presented as an open book with a spiral binding running down the center, resembling a playful manual or instruction guide. On the green pages, elements such as a golf ball, a red tee, and flat, cartoon-like cutouts of sand and water hazards recreate a miniature golfing environment. Leirner’s work satirizes the commercialization and spectacle of sports, particularly as seen in the Olympics. The use of simple, iconic shapes and vibrant colors gives the piece a playful, almost instructional quality, inviting viewers to reflect on the intersection of art, sport, and pop culture.

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.
