Look Closer

$85.00

Look Closer is a surreal, hand-cut Pantone collage that explores the uneasy relationship between surveillance, curiosity, and the media we consume. A vintage television becomes both pedestal and portal as three anonymous figures lean forward, transfixed by the glowing screen below. Above them, a watchful security camera and a bold "LOOK" sign command attention, while an octopus tentacle slips from a nearby window—an impossible intrusion that blurs the line between observer and observed.

The collage invites viewers to question who is really watching whom. Is the television offering an escape, or is it another lens through which we're monitored? The tentacle symbolizes unseen forces—algorithms, influence, or hidden truths—quietly reaching into everyday life. Vintage imagery paired with contemporary symbols creates a dreamlike tension between nostalgia and modern reality.

Handcrafted from authentic Pantone color cards and carefully composed paper ephemera, this original collage is professionally sealed beneath a crystal-clear resin finish and mounted to a sturdy 4" × 6" wooden panel. The glossy resin enhances every detail while protecting the artwork for years to come, creating a luminous, gallery-quality finish.

A striking conversation piece for lovers of surrealism, contemporary collage, and thought-provoking mixed media art, Look Closer reminds us that what captures our attention may also be quietly shaping it.

Details:

  • Original handmade Pantone collage

  • Finished with a high-gloss resin coating

  • Mounted on a 4" x 6" wooden board

  • Perfect for collectors of surreal, pop surrealist, and contemporary collage art
