First of all, I could instantly notice how this image is different than that of Andy Warhol’s, whose painting was clearly the inspiration for this one. From the very first glance I felt weird because I kept comparing the original painting to this one. The main thing that was odd to me was the gender swap.

Made in 1964, “Plastic Tree Plus City Hall” by David Hockney is an acrylic painting in which a vibrant palm tree towers against a streaky skyline whilst white ellipses trail off to a miniscule skyscraper. Through his depiction of a palm tree and a skyscraper, Hockney is able to juxtapose organic and synthetic forms, but it is through his color choice, scale, and arrangement that the organic nature of the palm tree is questioned. One way in which Hockey propels the concept of artificiality is by…
