Calvo - "Barking at the Electric Sun" XL

Acrylic and marker on canvas, measures 87 x 130 cm, after stretching 81 x 124 cm, signed with certificate of authenticity.

The work stands out for a vibrant neo-expressionist aesthetic that strongly recalls the language of Street Art, Art Brut, and the graphic universe of masters such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.

Main subjects: Two stylized, anthropomorphic animal figures (resembling cats/dogs with a feline bearing) dominate the foreground. They have black bodies outlined with thick blue contour lines and blue-toned faces rich in expressive details, with grotesque, ironic, and almost hypnotic gazes.

The color contrast is bold and uncompromising. The background is split between a strip of fuchsia/fire-red ground and a saturated blue sky pierced by an energetic yellow sun.

Entire composition is permeated by a playful yet mysterious visual dynamism: floating arrows, hearts with devil’s tails, stylized flowers, a bright pear placed at the center, and small splashes of color that impart immediacy and spontaneity to the brushwork.
