Charles Fazzino "Meet Me in St. Louis" 3D Mixed Media Pop Art

This is a characteristic 3D mixed media construction by renowned pop artist Charles Fazzino, titled 'Meet Me in St. Louis.' The artwork utilizes a meticulous hand-cut, multi-layered decoupage technique where various elements are silkscreened on paper, cut out, and elevated with foam spacers to create a dense, three-dimensional sculptural effect. The composition is a vibrant, whimsical portrayal of St. Louis, Missouri, featuring a prominent rainbow arching over the Gateway Arch, a riverboat on the Mississippi, and various local landmarks amidst a busy cityscape. The color palette is highly saturated with primary and secondary hues, enhanced by glitter and small hand-applied embellishments that are hallmarks of Fazzino's style. The piece is hand-signed by the artist and designated as an edition of 48/300 on the right margin. It is professionally housed in a shadowbox-style presentation with a white triple mat and a high-gloss black gallery frame. The condition appears excellent with crisp colors and no visible signs of fading, moisture damage, or loose internal components. This style of work gained significant popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, reflecting a high level of craftsmanship and labor-intensive assembly.
