Shutterstock launched its eighth annual Oscar Pop! poster series to celebrate the best picture nominees in the 92nd Academy Awards. Each of the posters features photos, vectors, textures and illustrations from Shutterstock’s diverse collection of over 300m images while drawing inspiration from world-famous pop artists.

The artists selected to serve as an influence for the designs range from contemporary to classic, and chaotic to minimalist. With distinctive elements such as the oversaturated colors of Japanese contemporary artist, Yayoi Kasama, and iconic imagery like the unmistakable swimming pool from influential British artist, David Hockney, each design is a unique retelling of a best picture nominee. The vibrant and sometimes playful colors, styles and techniques of pop artists offer fresh and unexpected perspectives on this year’s top films, which tell a variety of powerful and captivating stories. The hundreds of millions of high-quality images provided by over 1 million talented contributors around the world serve as the foundation for each of the creative works, demonstrating the sheer volume and relevancy of content available in Shutterstock’s collection.

In addition to the celebratory Oscars Pop! poster series, Shutterstock will be in prime positions at the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony on 9 February, covering celebrity arrivals on the red carpet, as well as the press room and a number of after-parties.
