Using over 120 Pop-Tarts, Wyburn offers a playful twist on Warhol’s vision, blending nostalgic pop culture with contemporary artistry. The piece took more than 10 hours to complete, with each pastry carefully arranged to capture Monroe’s distinctive features. Wyburn is no stranger to turning ordinary items into captivating portraits. In previous works, he crafted King Charles III’s likeness using Marmite and toast and depicted former Prime Minister Liz Truss with lettuce. His ability to transform familiar objects into art demonstrates his creativity and resourcefulness, encouraging audiences to view art through a new lens.
