A new exhibition at a botanical garden in Florida focuses on Claude Monet鈥檚 paintings of his garden and surroundings at Giverny - with a pop art spin. Roy Lichtenstein: Monet鈥檚 Garden Goes Pop! is currently on view at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens鈥 in downtown Sarasota.

The 15-acre campus has been transformed into large-scale artworks of Monet鈥檚 garden, as imagined through the aesthetic of legendary pop artist Lichtenstein, who died in 1997. The American pop artist became a leading figure in the new art movement in the 1960s.

Familiar components of Monet鈥檚 garden at Giverny appear at Selby Gardens. The iconic Japanese Bridge spans the koi pond, but it is designed to look as if Lichtenstein painted it. These intersections between Impressionism and pop art are designed to engage visitors as they move through the gardens en route to the Museum of Botany & the Arts.

There viewers can admire Lichtenstein鈥檚 Water Lilies with Reflections series, a limited edition of large-screen prints created in the latter years of his career that reinterprets the extreme painterly sensibilities of Monet鈥檚 famous Water Lilies.

"We鈥檙e basically saying that if Lichtenstein had created Monet鈥檚 garden, this might be what he would have dreamed up,鈥 says Jennifer Rominiecki, president and CEO of Selby Gardens. 鈥淏y giving our gardens the Monet treatment with an innovative and playful pop art twist, our guests will be able to explore Lichtenstein鈥檚 interpretation of Monet in a variety of ways.鈥

The exhibition is the latest instalment in Selby Gardens鈥 immersive Jean & Alfred Goldstein exhibition series, which explores the connection of nature and flowers to major artists. Roy Lichtenstein: Monet鈥檚 Garden Goes Pop! can be viewed until 27 June, and further information is available from the website
