Description

In this work I have superimposed social media emoticons on a still life of Roy Lichtenstein recreated with acrylic. These Emojis tend to represent the advantage of accessing images today via the Internet. Lichtenstein represented his time by making paintings which looked like graphic prints, whereas I have tried to pull his thread of representation by superimposing paintings of emojis which enlightens our digital participation in this contemporary world.
