Selena Con Rolos
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 Latinos and to elevate an everyday act—getting your hair done at the salon—to high art. This work depicts Selena, the extraordinarily popular “Queen of Tejano” singer who was tragically murdered in 1995.
