Flavor Paper?s game-changing approach to wallpaper has resulted in a portfolio of bold, artistic prints. It?s this irreverent take that drew the attention of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, which has collaborated with the company on a collection of wallpapers, each an inspired remix of the artist?s own works. Flavor Paper was granted access to most of Warhol?s catalog, with the exception of the artist?s own five wallpapers. A range of images from paintings to silkscreen prints to film stills were used as inspiration ? some iconic and others handpicked from deep in the artist?s archives. The Andy Warhol x Flavor Paper Collection includes nine interpretations of Warhol works: Flowers, The Last Supper, Rorschach, Shoes, Camouflage, Empire, Do It Yourself, Crowd, and Queen Elizabeth. The goal of the collection was to pay tribute to Warhol?s variety of aesthetics and techniques, while remixing them in a way only Flavor Paper could. This includes a hand screened half tone mural created from an Empire film still, color bleed Flowers, and original Shoe Polaroids turned into repeating patterns printed in diamond dust. Utilizing the creative freedom given to the project, Flavor Paper also redesigned Warhol artworks into completely new patterns. Individual Warhol inkblot paintings were built into a damask pattern for Rorschach. Crowd, a 1955 photo taken outside the Vatican on Easter, became a repeating pattern complete with an image of Warhol in a striped shirt snuck in to create a ?Where?s Warhol?? effect. Tribute was paid to the wallpaper layout Andy favored by colorizing versions of his Queen Elizabeth paintings and building them out in a half-drop design. Fresh takes on pop art for your walls. The collection is printed, primarily by hand, at Flavor Paper in Brooklyn using eco-friendly inks and materials of the highest quality.
