The artwork titled “Bang!” was created by Michael Johnson in 1965 in the United Kingdom and is a part of the Pop Art movement.
The artwork features a sequence of overlapping figures, predominantly in various shades of blue, red, and orange, evoking a dynamic and suggestive composition. The central figures are women in revealing attire, each holding a firearm, creating a sense of motion and intensity. The left side of the artwork is marked by bold, horizontal stripes in red, orange, and yellow hues, which contrast sharply with the predominantly blue tones of the figures. The visual repetition and interplay of colors reflect the characteristic style of the Pop Art movement, emphasizing both the glamour and the potentially provocative nature of contemporary imagery.
