Dean Borghi Fine Art, is pleased to announce Friends with POP! a celebration of art and artists who contributed to the movement of pop.

Three friends, pioneering unconventional ideas and becoming major influences to American art and the art world. American Painter, Neil Williams, American sculptor John Chamberlain, and American painter and printmaker Frank Stella. All stayed true to their unique inspirations allowing them to create works that transcend time in the art world today.

Using old cars and car parts to bring the abstract expressionist style into the three-dimensional space, John chamberlain (1927-2011) demonstrates his skill and bridged an art movement into a new space of thinking. Neil Williams (1934-1988) pioneered painting on irregular shaped canvases, braking the mold of using the standard canvas shapes to create his work. Best known for his words “What you see is that you get”, Frank Stella (b.1936) wows with his minimalistic works and his connections to the post painterly abstract. Williams, Chamberlain and Stella found refuge in working closely together, often sharing a studio space; they influenced each other’s works and providing guidance to one another.

The close relationship and influence between these three artists can still be seen today through the works they produced. Although their mediums and style maybe different, all three have their unique approach to creating their own individual work.
