For our March Spin event we will be visiting the recently opened ARTIST ROOMS: Roy Lichtenstein at Modern One.
As part of the new REFLECTIONS display at Modern One there is a special three-room ARTIST ROOMS display dedicated to works by renowned American artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997).
Lichtenstein was one of the most radical and influential artists of the 20th-century. With great integrity to materials and techniques, and with intellectual rigour and wit, Lichtenstein created visually striking works that continue to provoke questions about how images permeate our lives. This display brings together a newly assembled group of works by Lichtenstein, shown as part of ARTIST ROOMS for the first time and made possible thanks to the generosity of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation.
We will also look at the work of contemporary artist Louise Lawler. Primarily a photographer, for this body of work she has selected a number of her own photographs and collaborated with Jon Buller, an artist and book illustrator, to transform her compositions into line drawings, like those found in colouring books.
