pop artist

Soup can painter

A pop artist is a creator of pop art—the mid-20th-century movement that drew imagery from mass culture, advertising, and consumer products.

Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein are canonical examples.

The term can also mean a popular music performer, though pop star or pop musician is more common for that sense.
