Reconstruction of Visual Symbols: The Reproduction and Transformation of Pop Style in Modern Fiber Art

Abstract

Originating as an artistic phenomenon in the mid-20th century, Pop style is centered on the appropriation and reconstruction of consumer culture, mass media, and imagery, presenting a highly symbolic visual language system. The symbolic system of Pop style reconstructs the relationship between consumerism and artistic creation through the representation and transformation of popular cultural elements, introducing new aesthetic dimensions to contemporary fiber art. Modern fiber art, characterized by its material metaphors, symbolic expressions, and representations of cultural identity, has become a significant medium in artistic creation, playing a crucial role in the field of visual semiotics. Within the framework of Peirce's triadic semiotics, the visual symbols of Pop style are recreated in fiber art through the sign, object, and interpretant, with the characteristics of material language redefining the cultural meaning of the symbols. The transformation of Pop symbols in fiber art is not only reflected in the fiber-based representation of form but more importantly in the cross-media symbolic narrative, endowing Pop symbols with new contextual reconstructions and cultural interpretations. The visual symbols of Pop style achieve dual innovation in both form and content within fiber art, further revealing the multiple identities and cultural values of contemporary fiber art. In the context of global cultural interaction, the re-presentation and transformation of Pop symbols provide a cross-cultural exchange platform for modern fiber art, facilitating in-depth exploration of innovative expressions in the realm of semiotics.
