Philipp Humm with his painting

Practice: Pop Expressionism 

Sure, it’s Pop — but it’s bruised Pop. Like Lichtenstein got drunk and brawled with de Kooning, and what emerged was this glorious, raw, unfiltered hybrid.

You want sleek and pretty? Go to the mall. This is Pop cracked open — an emotional firework, messy and magnificent. Humm’s not painting icons; they’re painting impact. Each piece punches through the polished veneer of culture and lays bare what’s underneath: vulnerability, defiance, and the chaos of being alive.

This isn’t just Pop. It’s Pop with nerve endings.
