  • "Black Heart" Colorful Abstract Modern Pop Art Portrait Painting of a Woman
    Located in Houston, TX
    Colorful abstract modern portrait painting of an evil woman by Texas artist Robert Sandman. As the artist explains, "The definition of Black Heart is a woman who is as wicked and evil as the worst of your nightmares, who you do not want to anger, because when she’s angry, she kicks people out of cars. Not cool. In the painting, she wears the Legion of the Black Heart medal on her uniform. Blackheart is also a fictional demon in Marvel Comics, created by his demon-lord father, Mephisto, from the energy of accumulated evil. Also not cool. This painting was a companion piece to another painting in the Portfolio titled The Black Hand...

  • "DUAL Pop Icon No. 1", Monumental Contemporary Spray Painted Portrait
    By Paul Barces
    Located in Houston, TX
    Bold, graphic spray paint portrait piece by local Houston street artist DUAL titled "Pop Icon No. 1 ". Signed, titled, and dated on the back. This piece was featured at a solo exhibition of DUAL's work titled "Waste Nothing" at the Wedge Space in Houston, TX in 2016. Artist Biography: DUAL stands for the conflict between “street art” and “fine” art, between freeway burners and gallery exhibitions, between mass recognition and total anonymity. His bold lines and fresh colors are a break from the every day monotony of life in the city—a taste of urban subculture, whether you asked for it or not. While one may not have a choice in where and when they encounter a DUAL piece, DUAL leaves it up to the observer to assign a meaning to his work. By operating under a pseudonym, he lets his audience write their own narrative for who he is and the message he is trying to get across. Perhaps best known for his work with wheat paste, particularly since his feature in the 2011 wheat pasting documentary Stick ‘Em Up!, DUAL has never been one to confine himself to a particular medium, background, or context. He has been recognized not only for his work with silkscreen and spray paint, but also for his work with lithography and acrylics. Though his obsession with “making marks” stems from his background in graffiti, he has translated that into a passion for creating art. His “art” includes everything from large-scale murals to micro...
