The artwork titled “Preparation with Green Sky” is a figurative piece by artist Ashley Bickerton, created in 2010. It is part of the Neo-Pop Art movement.
In the artwork, vivid, surreal elements combine to form a dynamic composition. A central figure painted in blue with bold, bright patterns, such as a red and white striped shirt, stands holding an arrangement of lush tropical fruits. The background is dominated by a green sky and verdant palm trees, giving the scene a fantastical and exotic atmosphere. Surrounding the central figure are three figures, each adorned with florals and vibrant body paint, also painted in various shades of blue and green. This array of elements, colors, and patterns encapsulates the essence of Neo-Pop Art and invokes a sense of vibrant cultural commentary. The artwork seamlessly merges figurative imagery with a striking, almost dreamlike quality, displaying a blend of contemporary artistic expression and traditional motifs.
