Sven Pels - 3x "POP ART FIGURE", Triptych

Edition: Unique, handmade original (triptych, sold as set of three). Technique: Fully hand-painted. Colour fields painted with acrylic; character outline drawn with a professional squeezer marker for a bold, graphic finish. Materials: High-quality acrylic paint on primed canvas. Dimensions: 3 canvases — each approx. 75 × 55 cm (total width approx. 165 cm). Signature: Signed on the back of each canvas. About the Artwork: This vibrant pop art triptych features an iconic and globally recognized toy figure, re-interpreted in a bold and minimalist graphic style. Each panel explores a different colour composition, creating a rhythmic sequence when displayed side by side. All colour fields are hand-mixed — no paint was used straight from the tube — ensuring a distinct chromatic identity for each canvas. The contour is intentionally applied with a slight “mis-registration” effect, creating a subtle offset between the outline and the colour blocks — reminiscent of classic screen-printed pop art. The outline of the figure is applied with a special acrylic squeezer marker, resulting in a striking, high-contrast contour while still preserving the tactile qualities of a hand-made painting. This work sits at the intersection of nostalgia and contemporary pop culture, bringing a familiar subject into a gallery-ready fine art context. Please Note: Possible color deviations may occur due to lighting, monitor, and camera settings. Some of the representations are photomontages and serve as impressions. The size ratios do not always correspond exactly to reality. Each artwork is hand-cut and measured, so the displayed sizes may vary slightly. For buyers outside the EU, additional duties and fees may apply.
