His unique recombinations require extensive cutting, sculpting, sanding, and painting to create pop-culture 'chimeras.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is kitsch resurrected in a still vaguely familiar but somewhat less cozy form. Click's recapitated figures have found their way into several of the premiere collections of post-pop art via exhibitions in Pasadena, Los Angeles and Waxahachie, Texas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClick's exquisite work has attracted a healthy and ever growing group of collectors who recognize the skill and vision used to create this 'pop-sculpture.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClick's exquisite alterations of antique Rockwell, Hummel, and other miniature gift statuettes require a jeweler's precision. On top of this, he has had a lifetime fascination for oddity, which is as much an asset as his meticulous craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike his contemporary Ron English, Click Mort's unique methodology is a prime example of art that transcends its origins, elevating kitsch and improving the source pieces, which are works of art in themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe term surrealism is often recklessly misapplied in the current post-pop contemporary art market, but Click's pieces are truly of the essence that originally defined the movement in the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glorp Gum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054279147687,"sku":"9780867198089","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/0926\/files\/9780867198089.jpg?v=1758320848","url":"https:\/\/glorpgum.com\/products\/the-worlds-best-loved-art-treasures","provider":"Glorp Gum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
