Archival pigment print - Edition of 25 + 10 A.P. - Signed and numbered on the front // Canyons II by Richard Phillips, a limited edition pigment print from 2015, features a layered design of vibrant, repeating patterns and colors. The artwork showcases Phillips' distinct approach to combining pop culture elements with high-art aesthetics. Horizontal bands of ornate, swirling motifs in various colors—pink, purple, blue, and green—create a sense of rhythm and depth. Amidst these intricate patterns, a subtle white silhouette of the Playboy bunny logo appears at the lower edge, adding a playful, iconic touch. The contrast between decorative patterns and the pop culture symbol invites viewers to ponder the intersections of commercial imagery and artistic expression. Limited to 25 prints with an additional 10 artist proofs, this work is signed and numbered, marking it as both a collectible and a statement on contemporary visual culture.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
