Description

Jo Di Bona 's King Of Pop is a vibrant and iconic tribute to Michael Jackson, a universal figure in music and popular culture. Through her characteristic visual language blending collage, painting, and vibrant colors, the artist reinterprets the singer's face as a contemporary icon, both intimate and collective.

The portrait, structured by strong black and white contrasts, is enlivened by a profusion of colorful fragments taken from posters, typography, and graphic motifs. These elements, partially visible beneath the flat areas of paint, evoke the media construction of the star, their omnipresence in the collective imagination, and the multiplicity of narratives surrounding them.

Michael Jackson's radiant smile occupies the center of the composition and acts as an emotional anchor. It embodies the joy, creative energy, and timeless dimension of the artist, while the vibrant colors and visual rhythms convey movement, music, and the stage.

True to Jo Di Bona's Street Pop Art aesthetic, King Of Pop creates a dialogue between the legacy of street art and the mythology of pop culture. The work transcends a simple portrait to become a celebration of the icon, his global influence, and his ability to transcend generations.

At once powerful, positive and resolutely contemporary, King Of Pop transforms a music legend into a pop, urban and universal image, emblematic of Jo Di Bona's work.
