4ft x 4ft (122 × 122 cm)
Original Decollage on Cradled Wood Panel (7.5 cm)
Made from appropriated street and film posters, spray paint, marker, stencils and halftone portrait work.
Layers have been torn back, rebuilt and worked over time, what’s left in the surface is the history.
Nothing here is clean. It feels lived-in, just like the walls you’d walk past in a city that’s seen some things.
Sophia Loren wasn’t just a film star, she was presence, self-belief and control. She didn’t chase attention, she carried it. The dripping crown is there to mark that. In graffiti culture, a crown is earned, not handed out. She earned hers.
Look close and you’ll see references to her films, Italian cinema posters, fashion iconography and the way her image evolved across decades. Some of it jumps out straight away. Some of it you only notice after you’ve lived with the piece for a while.
