Originality is rare these days in the art world but we’re pleased to
report that we’ve stumbled upon an artist whose work is both innovative
and modern. Matt Bilfield, California based artist, won us over with
this incredible three-dimensional piece “Peggy,” a brilliant and
ambitious interpretation of a painting by famous artist Roy
Lichtenstein. The mammoth work - it’s seven feet wide and three
feet tall - is comprised of 2788 hand cut, sanded, and painted dowels
that where then assembled together to recreate Lichtenstein’s image.
The result is a cross between a graphic art image, sculpture, and
installation which offers the viewer a different experience from every
angle. By Billy T
