Liquitex on metal // Zevs’s CCCP - Liquidated Hammer and Sickle presents a powerful reinterpretation of the iconic Soviet symbol, using his signature “liquidation” style to transform the hammer and sickle into a dripping, deconstructed image. Rendered in vibrant yellow against a bold red background, the once-solid symbol appears to melt, with liquefied drips running down, suggesting decay or dissolution. This mixed media piece, created with Liquitex on metal, carries strong political and historical connotations, challenging viewers to consider the legacy and transformation of ideologies over time. Zevs, known for his street art background and provocative approach, uses this piece to question permanence, identity, and the power of symbols in a rapidly changing world.

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.
