THE SKATEROOM has unveiled its latest collection of skateboard artworks, featuring iconic pieces by renowned pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. This exciting new collection includes three individual skateboards and a skateboard triptych, each adorned with famous Lichtenstein comic-style paintings.
Roy Lichtenstein’s Iconic Artworks on Skateboards
The collection kicks off with Lichtenstein’s “Girl in Mirror” from 1964, which depicts a beautiful blonde woman smiling into a handheld mirror. The artwork is magnified and significantly cropped to fit the vertical, slender format of the skateboard. Next is “The Drowning Girl” from 1963, featured on a set of three skateboards, displaying the full painting with the iconic phrase “I Don’t Care! I’d Rather Sink – Than Call Brad For Help!”
The Emotional Impact of Lichtenstein’s Art
Following this is another 1963 piece, “Varoom!,” which illustrates a comic book explosion that critiques the glamorized depictions of war at the time. The final piece reimagines Lichtenstein’s 1964 “Happy Tears” painting, offering an extremely cropped depiction of a woman’s face, showing only one eye and a sliver of her mouth. Despite the minimalism, the artwork’s emotional impact remains powerful, leaving viewers to interpret whether the woman is happy or sad.
