This piece is part of Tony’s series entitled ROLOS & ICONS, which features a range of notable Latinas wearing hair rollers. It’s a thoughtful, clever and humorous twist on Warhol’s iconic silkscreen portraits; Tony uses the technique to celebrate a broad and diverse spectrum of Latino women and to elevate an everyday act—getting your hair done at the salon—to high art. This work depicts the Afro Latina and Cuban singer Celia Cruz. She is an important figure for the artist because, as he states, “Growing up, she was the only person I saw on television who looked like me.”
