Wall Explosion II 1965 — Fine Art

Wall Explosion II 1965 shows a burst of action held in a comic style. Small dots of colour press into the shapes.

A black outline holds the picture together. The style comes from Roy Lichtenstein and his pop art practice of using bold flat colour and clear graphic marks. The picture is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel.

The matte surface keeps the flat colour blocks steady and stops glare in a bright study. It works on a narrow wall at the end of a long hallway. From the far door you read the big dark shape first, then the small coloured dots as you come closer.
