Roberto Molla, Original Mixed Media on Graph Paper, Signed
An alluring original drawing by Spanish contemporary post conceptual artist Robert Molla, titled Barbadillo en Minowa 3, created using sumi ink, graphite, and gouache on cream-colored graph paper. It depicts an explicit scene in a brothel, with a mysterious Manga character partially hidden as a voyeur behind a door. An artwork by Manuel Barbadillo appears in the upper right corner, to whom Molla pays homage. This work draws inspiration from Japanese floating world iconography and ukiyo-e woodblock prints, while the use of graph paper pays tribute to the 1960's and 70's artist's whose work incorporated the grid, exploring both its freedoms and constraints. Artist signature, date, and title on lower right. Housed in a wooden shadowbox with a white background. Artwork dimensions: 15.5"L x 11.75"H. Frame dimensions: 18.75"L x 1.75"W x 14.75"H. Artwork can be unframed and rolled for shipment.
