Explosion I 1965 — Fine Art

A burst of red and yellow tones sits against a black background in Explosion I 1965. The sharp outlines and flat colour blocks follow the comic book style that Roy Lichtenstein used in his pop art period. You notice the graphic marks first, then the simple lettering shapes beside the burst.

The fine art print uses a matte paper that keeps the red tones from shining under a lamp.

On a bedroom wall above the bed you see the bright burst before you notice the small printed dots across the surface. The light from the bedside lamp sits on the surface and the tones stay flat without shine.
