Bringing Pop Art to Life
Artist Pantonio has transformed the scene of a car crash in Lisbon into a Pop Art-style explosion reminiscent of Roy Lichtenstein. The street "tribute" seems appropriate considering Lichtenstein freely transformed the imagery he found in comic books into fine art.
Portuguese artist Pantonio has transformed the scene of a car crash in Lisbon into a Pop Art-style explosion reminiscent of Roy Lichtenstein. The street “tribute” seems appropriate considering Lichtenstein himself freely transformed the imagery he found in comic books into fine art — though after I discovered the blog Deconstructing Lichtenstein I sometimes wonder if “transform” isn’t the right word for what the Pop artist did.
