Painting based on japanese culture

[hellymyname]

I have to do a painting based on japanese culture and influenced by Andy Wahol and Picasso.. the title is Adorn Decorate and Embellish.

Please can you give me some ideas, i am really stuck!

Well Wahol's mostly known for pop art - So were talking about mass produced imagary being incorporated into art.

So I'm thinking multiple Cambells soup tins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Campbells_So up_Cans_MOMA_reduced_80%25.jpg dayglow Marylin Munroes and Charman Mao etc.

Japanese culture is awash with commercialised advertising art and things like Manga art.

A facile cheeky solution might be the Hello Kitty logo reproduced in the style of the tins possibly in false colours.

But Picasso - how to fit that in?

You know what? I might go progressively cubist.

Start with a Japanese logo like hello kitty, reproduce it again and again like the soup tins but make it more and more cubist each time.

Any good?

I have to write some music, based on Indian classical and influenced by rap and Gregorian chant. They're having us on - no-one can do that.
