About this work

This image shows a black-and-white photo of a crowded boxing match, with two close-up circles highlighting a fighter’s face and another part of the ring. The rest of the picture is blurry, but you can still see the ropes, gloves, and a few spectators. The whole thing is painted over with rough, dark lines and dots. The artist mixed real photos with hand-drawn marks, making it look like a sketch overlaid on a snapshot. The circles feel like they’re zooming in on the action, but the paint makes it feel messy and raw. If you like this style, check out Steven Parrino.
