A graphic artwork featuring a textured red circle centered on a white background, with abstract patterns creating a sense of depth within the circle. The bottom left corner of the image contains a signature and edition number.
Black and white photo of a person's midsection wearing a skirt and blouse with the letters "IS" on the blouse.
A vibrant abstract painting featuring a chaotic mix of patterns and textures. Dominant colors include orange, red, and yellow, with splashes of blue and black. Central to the composition is a black handprint, surrounded by various shapes such as squares, lines, and what appear to be simplified floral motifs. The overall effect is energetic and expressive.
A colorful print featuring silhouetted figures and a car surrounded by flames. The background is divided into blocks of yellow, green, orange, and red, with words like "LOANS," "HOT," and "FOOD" interspersed throughout. The style is reminiscent of street art or a bold graphic print.
A colorful print featuring a stylized still life composition with a slice of watermelon, an orange, grapes, and a bottle with a decorative stopper arranged in an ornate glass bowl. A vine with leaves and berries extends from the side, and a piece of paper with text is positioned at the bottom left corner. The artist's signature and edition number are visible at the bottom.
Illustration featuring a grid of hand-drawn, colorful panels, each containing a list of words related to urban life and society, such as "HOUSING," "SCHOOLS," "POLICE," and "HEROES." The panels are interspersed with sketches of human figures in blue, with some figures appearing to interact with the words or each other. The artwork has a border in red and yellow, and is signed and dated at the bottom left corner.
A surreal black and white artwork featuring a collage of images: a woman with a headscarf, a glamorous woman with red lipstick, and two smaller portraits of women, all superimposed over a misty landscape with rocky outcrops and industrial structures. The piece is signed and numbered in the margin.
Line drawing of the Statue of Liberty's face surrounded by birds on a beige background.
