Silkscreen print on 100% Coventry Rag paper with Diamond Dust

Monarch Butterfly by Burton Morris is a bold and vibrant silkscreen print that captures the essence of pop art. The monarch butterfly, depicted in bright yellow with jagged black edges and striking blue accents, takes center stage against a radiant red background with dynamic black rays emanating from behind.

The addition of diamond dust adds a shimmering texture to the butterfly's wings, enhancing the overall visual impact and making the piece feel both playful and dramatic.

I like to make a statement with my art, and have an impact on society.
- Burton Morris

Burton Morris is a well-known American contemporary artist. His pop art works are similar to those of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. The majority of his works are extremely colorful paintings that have the medium of either silkscreen or acrylic paint on a canvas. As with all modern art, his work is somewhere between the two realms of concrete and abstract. Burton Morris’s specific style is one that is full of what appears to be cartoonist drawings with an emphasis on color. A common element that is within several of his projects is a heart; one painting featured a heart-shaped Earth at its center. He has done entire exhibitions on the coke bottle, where he painted several designs of different bottles as they changed throughout the years. One of Burton Morris's most famous pieces is a male photographer facing the viewer as his camera flash goes off, as if he is taking a picture of the audience. (Artist website)

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
