   O.Tsevegjav, Stallion Fight, 1958      As of now the oil painting is located M ongolian National Modern Art Gallery. I also read  there are plans to turn it into a statue. The recreation of this painting will be turned into a statue in Dornod Province, and it was set in motion by the Dornod Youth Federation in Ulaanbaatar.      Tsevegjav is a 20th-century Mongolian painter of Stallion Fight.

I took this as an opportunity to look into many artworks that interest me from a variety of pop art artists. All the artworks I've chosen have a common theme, the media. Some are from comic strips, consumerism, portraits of celebrities, or album covers. Another common theme is most of these artworks have some sort of sexual underline.

I wanted something stronger that gave more of an assembly line effect. With silkscreening, you pick a photograph, blow it up, transfer it in glue onto silk, and then roll ink across it so the ink goes through the silk but not through the glue.
