“Wall Explosion II,” crafted by Roy Lichtenstein in 1965, is an installation piece emblematic of the Pop Art movement. Utilizing enamel on steel, this expansive artwork measures 194.9 by 212.7 centimeters.
The artwork manifests itself as a dynamic visual explosion centered within the composition. Dominated by vibrant hues of red, yellow, blue, and white, the sharp, radial lines extrude outward, mimicking an explosive force frozen in time. The central burst appears as an abstract star shape with energetic fragments radiating outwards, coupled with contrasting textures and dotted patterns akin to Lichtenstein’s signature comic strip aesthetic. The entire installation defies conventional flat surfaces, creating a three-dimensional presence that demands interaction and attention from the viewer.
