In RYB ANDY, Peter Maier fuses automotive precision with Pop iconography to reimagine Andy Warhol through the pure language of color theory. The title—RYB, for Red, Yellow, Blue—nods to the foundational palette of both classical painting and commercial print, domains Warhol himself bridged.

Maier’s rendering of Warhol is almost spectral: incandescent, unflinching, and seared with hues that vibrate with both intensity and irony. The piercing stare and thermal glow transform the face into an artifact of modern mythology—a portrait of the artist as an eternal signal in the cultural ether.

Where Warhol once elevated soup cans, Maier elevates Warhol—turning pigment into presence, chrome into reverence.
