About the Item
Serigraph on paper
Signed lower right
Description
A striking fusion of fashion illustration, graphic precision, and cinematic poise, this serigraph exemplifies Leal’s unmistakable command of line and color. The figure—poised mid-gesture, with a knowing sideways glance—emerges against a bold black circular backdrop that heightens the theatricality of her silhouette. Saturated tones of teal, saffron, violet, and jet-black wrap around the composition in sweeping, almost sculptural planes of color, while the crisp contour lines emphasize elegance, attitude, and control.
The woman’s sharply angled hairstyle, luminous eyes, and crimson lips evoke the stylized glamour of late-20th-century visual culture, recalling both Art Deco revivalism and the sleek language of 1980s graphic design. Leal’s calculated economy of form, paired with his electric palette, transforms a simple pose into an icon of movement and sophistication.
Context
Legacy
Active during a period when illustration, fine art, and commercial aesthetics increasingly overlapped, Leal occupies a distinctive position among late-modern printmakers. His works align with a generation of artists who reimagined portraiture through bold geometry and saturated color fields, blending elements of fashion, performance, and modernist abstraction.
This piece reflects the era’s fascination with individuality and style—capturing not merely a figure, but the aura of cultural self-presentation.
Collector’s Note
A quintessential example of Leal’s refined serigraph technique, this work showcases his mastery of shape, shadow, and chromatic contrast. Its polished composition and dynamic presence make it a standout statement piece for collectors of 1980s modernist graphic art and fashion-inflected portraiture.

" I am a Mexican" Pop Art Portrait of a Man in Amsterdam by Shao Qi
Located in Pasadena, CA
In contemporary art's diverse and infinitely complex world, many works serve as vehicles for thoughts, statements, and emotions. SHAO QI, a Chinese artist born in 1987 in Shanghai, blends political, cultural, and aesthetic elements in her lithographic work titled "I am Mexican." This piece, limited to fifty copies and numbered 21/50 in pencil, dated 2011, transcends the materiality of art to explore societal palimpsests and interrogate notions of identity and globalization.
The dynamic confrontation of colors, particularly the dichotomy of red and black, is essential. The radiant luminescence of red contrasts sharply with the ultimate absorption of black, framing the piece in a colorimetric standoff reminiscent of vintage propaganda posters. Red, the color of revolution and power, passion and vitality, mingles with black, the shade of shadow and void, embodying the potential for new beginnings, as French artist William Klein once proclaimed.
SHAO QI employs a stylistic language that is instilled with almost raw expressiveness. The bold black strokes outlining the figure are reminiscent of Shepard Fairey's work under the OBEY signature. These black lines convey a vibrancy and primal force akin to Russian constructivist posters...

Another clean line drawing by Brennan, done with sharpie, or marker.

A remarkable piece by Brennan. Clean and thick lines made with ink, featuring a clown-like figure very different from the usual clowns existing for the kid's fun. The background contrasts the clown's attire.
