Shutterstock has launched its eighth annual Oscar Pop! poster series to celebrate the best picture nominees in the 92nd Academy Awards. Each of the posters features photos, vectors, textures and illustrations from Shutterstock’s collection of over 300 million images while drawing inspiration from world-famous pop artists.
The artists selected to serve as an influence for the designs range from contemporary to classic, and chaotic to minimalist. With distinctive elements such as the oversaturated colors of Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama and iconic imagery like the unmistakable swimming pool from influential British artist David Hockney, each design is a retelling of a best picture nominee. The vibrant and sometimes playful colors, styles and techniques of pop artists offer fresh and unexpected perspectives on this year’s top films, which tell a variety of powerful and captivating stories.
