Yorkie continues Ty Fischer’s exploration of portrait and perception through black-and-white lenticular art. Printed to lenticular film, the piece reveals two distinct yet unified dimensions: one rendered as a bold, digitally hand-painted portrait, the other reconstructed entirely from descriptive words and affectionate traits that define the spirited Yorkshire Terrier.
The first layer captures the Yorkie in painterly form, energetic brushstrokes in oil paint style, carve light out of darkness, conveying vitality and softness within the same motion. Each stroke feels alive, suggesting the dog’s signature confidence and curiosity beneath its delicate exterior.
The second layer reimagines that same portrait through language. Words like Curious, Confident, Tenacious, Feisty, Intelligent, and Loyal weave across the form, shaping fur, shadow, and emotion alike. As the viewer moves, the Yorkie’s expression transforms, the painted energy gives way to the verbal essence of its personality.
Through this kinetic dialogue between texture and text, Yorkie becomes more than an image — it is a reflection of temperament and devotion, a living expression of character revealed through motion. Each piece is meticulously aligned, printed on premium lenticular film, and finished to evoke the luminous depth and movement that define Fischer’s signature black-and-white style.
