Pop art and digital art have more in common than you might think

Artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein drew their motifs from everyday culture, advertising, comics and consumer goods. They celebrated the popular and commercial and challenged traditional notions of fine art. Many digital artists also engage with contemporary pop culture. They use images, symbols and aesthetics from the internet, social media, video games and other digital areas. Here, too, there is often an examination of consumption and media presence.

The new interpretations from the year 2025 cannot ignore the icons of Pop Art. Whether Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Harring, Andy Warhol or the pop art queen from Argentina, Marta Minujín. Max Capacity, 0xEdwoods, Max Haarich and Stipinpixel make reference to either the subject or the technique in their works. And the Campbell’s cans become Camphell’s cans.

Pop artists experimented with new materials and techniques that were previously uncommon in fine art, such as acrylic paints, screen printing and collages made from everyday objects. Digital artists use a wide range of software, digital tools or algorithms to create new forms of artistic expression.

Many Pop Art works contained a subtle or more obvious critique of consumer society, the superficiality of the media and traditional art institutions. Digital art can also be a commentary on contemporary digital society and the flood of information.

In a way, digital art has transformed and expanded pop art's engagement with popular culture and mass media into the digital age. The tools and contexts have changed, but the interest in reflecting the immediate, often commercially influenced environment remains a unifying element.
