As the exhibition's first week comes to a close, hear from the first to experience the everyday become the extraordinary as we celebrate Pop Art on the Gold Coast.
#In the media
'Goosebumps covered me, head-to-toe, as I laid eyes on the up-close works of some of the biggest artists in history. Tears were held back as I tried to fathom how in my home town, the artists who have inspired and transported my body and mind were here, eternalised through their art and making life that little more bearable through their collective works of expression.'
Gold Coast Bulletin
‘A STUNNING collection of work by pop art legend Andy Warhol opens Saturday at HOTA Gallery on the Gold Coast is the most exciting exhibition in Australia. Surprised that it’s happening in Surfers Paradise?’
The Courier Mail
‘Above all, the exhibition highlights that from New York to the Gold Coast, the 1960s to now, Pop Art’s ability to provoke and inspire endures.’
Harper’s Bazaar
‘…a vibe of everything bold, beautiful and even a little brash, making it a perfect addition to the locale literally known as The Glitter Strip.’
Concrete Playground
‘Overall, the scale and quality of the works on display is exciting, and offers a viewing experience commensurate with any world-class museum.’
ArtsHub
'A phrase that keeps getting tossed around is "all killer, no filler" - and it's true.'
