Martin Richardson, Felix Behind Bars, 2012

‘Felix Behind Bars’ – A signed, limited edition lenticular print by British contemporary artist Martin Richardson.

Richardson’s lenticulars are made using proprietary print software and a special lens material, otherwise known as a micro-lens. This combined with other optical components create a 3-D moving image called a lenticular. In the 1850's a marked step in solving the complicated problem of detailed representation of our three-dimensional world was made by photography; modern lenticular technology now advancing this science. Since Fox Talbot¹s early experiments in the eighteenth-century, photography has represented objects of the surrounding world in a far from perfect way. A vision we can take no further, a vision that, like language, has influenced society beyond all expectations. In our now digital age, lenticular technology offers artists the opportunity to construct mini three-dimensional representations of our physical world.
