The work draws on a pop aesthetic in its use of stereotypical images, inspired by mass culture. Pop Art was born in the United States in the second half of the 20th century as an interest/critique by artists of the contemporary "consumer society." All expressions of Pop Art presuppose a sort of double bond with the world of consumerism and the mass media. On the one hand, it is the artwork that is reduced to a mere consumer product, thanks to the use of advertising or comic book language in the works and their serial reproduction through mechanical processes. On the other, it is the advertising images and consumer goods themselves that become works of art.

In this work by Wo$h, the key element is the newspaper, a mass-produced object par excellence, reworked by the artist in an extraordinary pop guise. As in New Dada, the newspaper, a byproduct of consumer society, is transformed into a painting to hang on a wall. This reworking is overlaid with a pop-media image drawn from the world of comics, with an ironic reference to a work by Keith Haring.

Wo$h is a Belgian artist whose paintings have been exhibited nationally. His art has also been featured in publications such as TLV Magazine. Creating in a vibrant pop art style, iconic cartoon characters and money are recurring themes in Wo$h's distinctive work. He works most often with acrylics and collage, also incorporating graffiti techniques on wood.
