Monica with Tulips is a vibrant screenprint by Tom Wesselmann from 1989, printed in colours on Museum Board. The composition presents a reclining female nude rendered in the artist's signature flat, saturated palette: smooth flesh tones outlined in orange, black hair cascading across a blue bedspread, and red lips echoing the bold red tulips that bloom in the foreground. A mint-green lattice wallpaper, an orange arc suggesting a headboard, and a gilded picture frame anchor the domestic interior.

Tom Wesselmann (USA, 1931–2004) was a leading Pop artist celebrated for his bold, vibrant works exploring modern American culture. Known for his Great American Nude series, he used simplified forms and bright colors to depict consumer goods, interiors, and the human figure, blending sensuality with abstraction.

Screen-print

Screen-printScreen printing is a technique where ink is transferred through a mesh onto a substrate, with areas blocked by a stencil to prevent ink from passing through. This method, also known as serigraphy or silkscreen printing, is commonly used to produce prints on posters, T-shirts, vinyl, stickers, wood, and other materials. The process is a type of stencil printing, allowing for vibrant, detailed designs on various surfaces.

I want my art to have the energy of the present.
- Tom Wesselmann

Working across collage, sculpture and painting, Tom Wesselmann was a prominent artist of the Pop Art movement whose works often stylised the female form as well as capturing elements of American life and consumer culture. Wesselmann initially began as an illustrator of comic strips and men’s magazines but received acclaim in the art world for his Great American Nude series in which he depicts numerous patriotic scenes - such as portraits of founding fathers or a photograph of a typically American landscape - using a palette of red white and blue with occasional khaki and gold; the majority of the images were sourced from discarded posters and magazines. Working with a number of materials, including Plexiglass, steel and aluminium, Wesselmann is diverse in his creative process and developed the first artistic use of laser-cut metal; Dropped Bra is an example of his acclaimed coloured, metal nudes.

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
