Woody van Amen was introduced to Pop Art in the United States in the early 1960s, when Roy Lichtenstein was one of its rising stars. The enlarged grid dots in paintings based on comic strips became his trademark. Van Amen ironically transformed a pointing hand into a ‘Lichtenstein’ by mounting a sheet of bubbled Perspex in front of it.
