THE EYES HAVE IT

About this artwork

Mixed Media on Wood Panel. 72" x 48" x 3". Integrates lighted infinity mirrors into Elton's eyeglasses within the artwork, as well as multiple 3D eyeglasses & faux jewels. This artwork is a vibrant collage centered around a large grayscale portrait of Elton John's face. The face is adorned with oversized, round sunglasses featuring lighted infinity mirrored lenses and a frame decorated with reflective gems. Surrounding this central image are numerous colorful, smaller images and pop culture icons, including various representations of Elton John wearing sunglasses, cartoon characters like Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, Donald Duck, and Minions, as well as comic-style graphics and musical notes. The collage integrates elements of playful whimsy and celebrity culture, blending photographic realism in the central portrait with lively, animated, and stylized illustrations around it. The overall effect creates a dynamic contrast between the monochrome central figure and the vivid surrounding imagery
