Peeling Back the Mysteries
A Pop Art Ode to the Craft
What happens when you mix Andy Warhol’s bananas with Masonic symbols?
You get Peeling Back the Mysteries, a cheeky, vibrant tribute to both Pop Art rebellion and esoteric tradition.
This piece doesn’t whisper secrets… It peels them.
Warhol Meets the Working Tools
At first glance: it’s bananas. Literally.
But look closer, these aren’t just fruit. They’re forming a familiar shape.
The Square & Compasses, reimagined in full Pop flair, circling the sacred “G” like it’s center stage at The Factory.
• The Bananas: A nod to Warhol’s iconic Velvet Underground album cover
• The “G”: The core of Masonic geometry, gnosis, and the Great Architect
• The Rays: Enlightenment, revelation… and maybe a little sarcasm too
Esoteric Doesn’t Have to Be Serious
Peeling Back the Mysteries reminds us that decoding the symbols of Freemasonry doesn’t require a solemn face and a dusty library. Sometimes, it’s OK to laugh while you learn. To wink while you work. To peel back a mystery, and enjoy what’s inside.
This is a piece for those who see the patterns… and still love the punchline.
A Lighthearted Layer of Truth
Warhol once said, “Art is what you can get away with.”
This piece doesn’t get away with anything. It owns it. It’s playful. It’s irreverent. But it’s still rooted in something ancient, sacred, and strangely delicious.
Craft & Character
At Keystone, we take pride in curating and delivering quality artworks rooted in meticulous craftsmanship. Each piece carries its own subtle imperfections, born from the hands-on nature of stencil work. One such feature is underspray, the light scattering of paint that may extend beyond the intended form. It’s not a flaw, but a fingerprint of the process. A reminder that true expression lies not in precision, but in presence, in the honesty of the moment the paint met canvas.
If you ever have questions or concerns about underspray or any element of your artwork, we welcome your message. We’re here to ensure your experience is as thoughtful as the art itself.
