Roy Lichtenstein: Beyond Reality

Opening June 2nd at the Powers Art Center, Roy Lichtenstein: Beyond Reality

Join us on a journey to reconsider the familiar. Through bold outlines, vibrant fields of color, and patterned dots, Roy Lichtenstein conveys emotion with a distinctly mechanical style. A crying figure, a landscape, or a monumental cathedral are all treated the same. In doing so, Lichtenstein suggests that meaning is not fixed within an image, but shaped by scale, context, and the act of looking. Roy Lichtenstein: Beyond Reality is not about escape, but about perception. Images do not reflect reality so much as shape it, and meaning exists in the space between image and viewer.

Open from June 2nd, 2026 to May 2nd, 2027
