About This Work
“Lichtenstein Morton A” by Roy channels the crisp immediacy of Pop-inflected visual language while asserting a distinctly contemporary finish. Built on a disciplined graphic structure, the work leverages high-contrast colour and emphatic line to create a surface that reads at once as image and object—flattened, iconic, and insistently present.
