A high-contrast black and white artwork featuring a collage of various images, including silhouettes of two people facing each other, architectural elements, and abstract shapes. The composition is framed within a white border.
A black and white collage featuring various figures and text elements, with a prominent figure in the foreground sticking out their tongue and crossing their eyes. The text appears reversed and overlaid across the image, creating a chaotic and layered visual effect.
This image features a collage of black and white photographs and text fragments. The central figure is a woman's face with a distorted, pixelated effect, overlaid with smaller images of faces and body parts. Text snippets with phrases like "STEP BY STEP" and "beauty treatment" suggest a theme related to beauty or cosmetics. The overall composition has a fragmented, abstract quality.
A graphic print featuring three silhouetted figures with their hands raised, one holding a sign that reads "THE COP IS OUR FR.I.END HA HA HA," against a background of text. The image has a rough, textured appearance, reminiscent of a photocopy or a linocut print.
A monochromatic artwork featuring a fragmented and abstracted image of a figure, possibly male, with discernible elements such as a shoulder and head, set against a textured background, all contained within a white border.
Black and white abstract artwork featuring layered images with text elements, including a partial face and the word "Kennedy?" at the bottom.
A black and white abstract artwork featuring a distorted photographic image of a figure with a prominent head and facial features, set against a brick wall background, centered on a white canvas.
A high-contrast black and white image of a person's face with a superimposed effect creating a double exposure look. The face has an ethereal quality with eyes that appear to be looking in different directions. Below the image, there is a caption that reads "you don't have to be an angel... just look like one!" The overall tone of the image is artistic and abstract.
A monochromatic artwork featuring a dynamic scene with a bull and a figure resembling a matador in motion, set against a dark, textured background. Text on the right side reads "In comes a new powerful with Lycra spandex."
A monochromatic artwork depicting a close-up of a person's face with their hand gently touching their lips, overlaid with a faint image of an eye and a small bird in flight near the mouth. The image has a dreamlike, ethereal quality.
