Roy Lichtenstein, Red Lamp, 1992, transforms a simple domestic object into a bold study of light, form, and perception. The lamp — rendered in his signature comic-book precision with Ben-Day dots, thick black outlines, and flat planes of radiant color — becomes a symbol of modern design and artificial illumination. Its vivid red hue commands attention, glowing against the structured geometry of its surroundings. Lichtenstein elevates the everyday into the iconic, blurring the boundary between fine art and mass production. Through this composition, the artist reflects on how modern life is defined by objects that are both functional and aesthetic — illuminating not just space, but the visual culture of the 20th century.
