The Icons series by Seb Machten redefines contemporary pop art by transforming familiar symbols into powerful visual statements.
Drawing from monuments, cultural artifacts, and everyday objects, these original artworks isolate iconic forms within intense monochromatic fields. Removed from their original context, they acquire a new gravity — shifting from object to presence, from reference to contemporary relic.
At the intersection of contemporary art and visual culture, Icons explores how societies construct meaning through images. Each piece distills a symbol to its essence, allowing it to transcend its origin and become a timeless figure within the language of contemporary pop art.
Through contrast, scale, and radical simplicity, the series establishes a refined visual tension where recognition meets reinterpretation.
Part of a curated body of contemporary artworks by Seb Machten, Icons positions itself as a dialogue between memory, culture, and perception.
When the unnecessary falls away, the icon remains.
