Celebrate the iconic pop art of Roy Lichtenstein with this striking skate deck, featuring the classic 'Girl in Mirror' design. The vivid colors and comic book aesthetic offer a playful dialogue on perception and imagery, perfect for collectors and skate enthusiasts alike. Its unique artistic flair transforms any ride into a vibrant statement of style and creativity, bridging art and sport in a captivating way.
From the brand: Roy LICHTENSTEIN frequently represented women through archetypes drawn from comics and everyday advertising. Containing a conventionally attractive, smiling woman, Girl in Mirror also features LICHTENSTEIN’s fanciful play with perspectival space via the inclusion of the handheld mirror, inviting the viewer into the frame.
The comic book aesthetic further encourages one to question the symbolism of the gaze and the dynamic interplay of perception. Is the smiling heroine staring back at the viewer or herself? Additionally, as is so often typical with LICHTENSTEIN, where he often integrates previous imagery into new works, one can see the beginnings of a playful exploration of the brushstroke, evident in the styling of the girl’s hair. The artwork is presented here, in an even closer format, as a solo skate art edition.
