Marilyn B&W

Full star Full star Full star Full star Full star 3 ratings

“Marilyn” commemorates the 61st anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s tragic passing and is a commentary on a life that was both black and white and vividly colorful.

A magnetic portrait, it captures the enigma of the 20th-century icon with striking visual contrasts and symbolic flourishes. Painted predominantly in a monochromatic palette, this piece presents the Hollywood luminary head-on, her gaze unwavering and commanding, demanding our attention and engagement.

Her features are vividly detailed—from the inviting gaze of her eyes to the distinctive black beauty mark perched near the curve of her mouth. The intentional choice of black and white echoes the stark simplicity of yesteryears’ photography, placing the starlet in her timeless element while also underscoring the dichotomy of her life—a public image of glamour against a private struggle with vulnerability.

The rich hue of red on her lips—a beacon of vitality—symbolizes her vibrant spirit, sensuality, and the roles she is most remembered for. Paint splatters disrupt the otherwise structured portrait, alluding to the emotional palette of a life lived with technicolor intensity amidst a grayscale world. The draw she possessed is a force that continues to captivate even today.

“Marilyn” reminds us of the many facets of Marilyn Monroe—the actress, the icon, the woman—and invites us to reflect on the indelible impact she left on the world.

This is the black and white version of the artwork, also available in color.

How To Buy

  • Acrylic

    Elevate your space with the vibrant essence and unparalleled clarity of an acrylic print. The artwork is expertly printed onto the reverse side of a robust 1/4” thick acrylic sheet, ensuring that it not only dazzles with its high gloss finish but also endures the test of time.

    Choose between two sophisticated mounting options:

    1. Hanging Wire: Ideal for those who prefer a straightforward, no-fuss installation. A durable, pre-attached wire is secured on the back, providing a clean and minimalistic look.
    2. Metal Posts: For those who prefer an ultra-modern and sleek aesthetic. This option involves four metallic posts that anchor the artwork at each corner, providing a contemporary flair and making the artwork stand out as a centerpiece.

    Whether you are drawn to the elegance of the hanging wire or the bold statement of the metal posts, the journey to transform your environment into a gallery of your own begins here.

    Note: Adjusting the artwork’s shape during the ordering process may alter its composition, potentially cropping out the “Pat” signature. If you change the shape, please review your selection carefully to ensure it meets your liking.

  • Metal

    Transform your space with the sleek sophistication of a metal print. The artwork is meticulously printed directly onto a 1/16” thick sheet of aluminum, ensuring that every color shines with intensity and every line speaks with clarity. The aluminum’s high gloss finish enhances the image’s depth and richness, producing simply stunning results.

    The print is elegantly offset from the wall by a 3/4” thick wooden frame attached to the back, creating a sophisticated floating appearance. The hanging wire, pre-attached to the frame, allows for a hassle-free setup, seamlessly integrating the artwork into your space with a clean and minimalistic aesthetic.

    The combination of durable aluminum, luminous gloss finish, and elegant offset presentation brings a contemporary flair to any setting.

  • Canvas

    Experience the timeless beauty and texture only a stretched canvas print can provide. The artwork is exquisitely printed onto premium canvas and then stretched over wooden frames.

    First, choose between a gallery wrap or a museum wrap:

    1. In a gallery wrap, the canvas is stretched around the sides of 1.5” x 1.5” stretcher bars and secured to the back. The artwork extends from the front and continues over the sides of the frame, creating a seamless look that doesn’t require additional framing. This method allows the image to wrap around the edges, making the artwork appear continuous and self-contained.
    2. In a museum wrap, the canvas is stretched around 5/8” x 5/8” stretcher bars so that the sides of the canvas are a solid color, white or black, rather than continuing the image from the front. The artwork itself is only visible on the front surface of the canvas. This style presents a clean, finished look with neutral edges and is ideal for framing.

    Next, select a finish: opt for a glossy finish for a vibrant, reflective sheen that enhances the colors and details, or choose a matte finish for a subtle, soft texture that minimizes glare and maintains natural elegance.

    Consider further elevating your canvas print by adding a frame, which not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a layer of protection, ensuring your art remains a focal point for years to come.

    Your canvas print arrives ready to display, with a pre-attached hanging wire, mounting hooks, and nails included, ensuring a simple and secure installation. Whatever options you choose, this piece will effortlessly complement your space with its crafted beauty.
