In “Wow! Roy,” Jonmarc Edwards turns pop nostalgia into a lively contemporary puzzle. A cartoon echo of Bewitched—the beaming housewife and returning husband—sits beneath a charged surface of black dot patterns, stenciled letters, laser-cut words, and gestural paint. The reference to Roy Lichtenstein’s Ben-Day dots is unmistakable, but here the dots do more than quote Pop Art: they veil, interrupt, and reshape the image beneath.

Color, texture, and symbol collide across the canvas. A surreal geometric figure pulls the eye to the right, while an enlarged dot holding a butterfly-like form becomes a strange, glowing pause in the action—as if transformation has been caught mid-flight. Playful and provocative, the work asks how familiar images keep changing meaning as they pass through art, memory, and the noise of now.
