C-3PO

Even protocol droids get a halo eventually. Joshua Roman surrounds C-3PO in a field of deep crimson roses and crowns him in gold, turning a galaxy-famous face into something closer to a religious icon.

Roman's figurative surrealism is instantly recognizable, intricate detail and rich, layered color applied to subjects that feel both familiar and entirely new in his hands. Here that signature style meets one of pop culture's most beloved characters.
