The artwork was created by the contemporary pop graffiti artist :ShenShen210: using airbrush. It is part of her Modern Musicology collection. The artwork features a close-up of BB King’s face, with his soulful gaze taking center stage. The details of his features, like his whiskers, are etched with knives, striking through the darker tones in the image. The use of airbrush gives the piece a unique texture and depth, adding to its visual appeal. The artwork is a striking example of pop art, a movement that emerged in the 1950s and 60s as a reaction against traditional art forms. Pop art often features images from popular culture, such as celebrities, advertisements, and comic books, and uses bold colors and graphic design elements to create visually striking pieces.
