About the artwork
Through this skilful juxtaposition of references, Peter Stark's work bears witness to the enduring influence of pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. Stark combines images of street art such as Banksy, mentioned in the title, with a female character from the world of comic books. This mischievous detour leads viewers to question their cultural references and imagination. The contrasting tones, dividing the composition into two distinct parts, underline the distinction between street art and the pop movement.
