== Elvis Presley and Che Guevara == [[File:Gavin Turk - Pink Diamond Dust Elvis, 2005.png|left|thumb|150px|Gavin Turk, ''Diamond Pink Elvis'', 2005]]From 2005 Turk began producing a small number of silkscreen works on canvas, depicting himself as [[Elvis Presley]], in a pose taken from the paintings by Andy Warhol of the same subject from the 1960s, such as Warhol's ''[[Triple Elvis]]''. Turk applied diamond dust to some of the Elvis works made from diamanté applied to silkscreened canvas in vibrant pop colours, which sparkles in direct light. Examples of Turk's Elvis series are ''Diamond Yellow Elvis'', 2005 and ''Diamond Pink Elvis'', 2005.<ref name="elvis">{{Cite web|url= http://visualarts.britishcouncil.org/collection/artists/turk-gavin-1967/objects/all/initial/t |title= Visual Arts - Gavin Turk (1967 – ) Artworks |date=2014|website=visualarts.britishcouncil.org |access-date=November 7, 2017}}</ref> A set of what appeared to be [[Guerrillero Heroico|classic posters of Che Guevara in a beret]], again revealed themselves on further scrutiny to be photos of Turk himself.<ref name="elvis"/>
