Neopop biography definition

Neo-pop takes elements from pop art like its emphasis on popular culture, consumerism, and mass media and its bright color palette. The visuals are mainly rooted in vibrant colors, diverse patterns (like polka dots, flowers, hearts, stars, lines, etc.), and a mix of imagery from everyday life, like advertisements and pop culture.

Neo-pop artists often took inspiration from celebrities, cartoons, and iconic trademarks to make their artwork
