For your consideration, a rare and original hand-painted artwork by internationally acclaimed artist James Dillon Wright, professionally known as Dillon Boy. Renowned for his bold figurative style and signature fusion of graffiti techniques with pop culture iconography and subversive wit. Artist: Dillon Boy (USA, b. 1979) Title: The Grin In The Dark Medium: Spray Paint, Acrylic & Oil Pens on Canvas Style: Pop Art / Urban Art Dimensions: 48" x 48" (121.92 × 121.92 cm) About the Artwork In this original painting, artist Dillon Boy (DBOY) presents a striking, expressive interpretation of Gengar, rendered in a bold purple palette that emphasizes mood, energy, and presence. The work transforms the familiar character into a powerful visual figure, defined by intensity, movement, and a commanding central gaze. The composition is built around deep violets and electric purples, layered with visible brushstrokes and distressed textures that create rhythm and depth across the surface. Gengar’s exaggerated grin and raised hands convey tension and playful menace, while the surrounding marks and painterly drips give the piece a sense of motion, as if the figure is emerging from the canvas itself. The overall effect is dark, dynamic, and immersive. Executed using acrylic paint, spray paint, and hand-applied detailing, this painting moves beyond simple character depiction. It stands as a contemporary statement work that blends expressive painting, pop imagery, and modern collectible art, showcasing Dillon Boy’s confident, graphic approach and strong visual identity.

A Word From the Artist… “In my work, I fuse decades of pop, graffiti, and street culture. Sometimes that means experimenting with AI, but it’s never about the machine. It’s still a tool, and I’m the one directing it. Each piece requires skill, vision, and the ability to ask the right questions to shape something authentic. These are experiments in freedom, humor, and storytelling and even though I’ve been doing this for over 35 years every time I pick up the brush I feel like I just started! New series coming soon!!
