The artwork entitled “Sex & Power, MeToo” by Noma Bar, created in 2018, is an exemplar of the Neo-Pop Art movement and falls within the genre of illustration. The artwork, featured on the cover of The Economist magazine, employs minimalist yet poignant imagery to represent the themes of power dynamics and the Me Too movement. It is characterized by a prominent use of negative space and bold shapes to convey its message.
The artwork features a stylized silhouette of a woman, crafted through geometric precision and set against a black background. The silhouette is formed by pink shapes that intersect to suggest a figure. Above the silhouette, the title “Sex and power” is boldly displayed in pink letters, with the hashtag “#MeToo, one year on” following underneath in white. The visual simplicity combined with the powerful thematic content of the artwork creates a compelling commentary on the intersection of gender and power.
