About the Item

Drew Barrymore boxing, Black and White Portrait photgraphed by Mark Seliger. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This black-and-white photograph by Mark Seliger features actress Drew Barrymore in a striking and provocative portrait inspired by Alice in Wonderland. She sits on a wheelbarrow around her humans, disguised as playing cards, look at her. Her short, tousled blonde hair frames her intense, defiant expression as she blows smoke rings and looks at them. In the background, slightly out of focus, a male boxer leans against the ropes, shirtless and wearing traditional boxing shorts, adding depth and contrast to the image. His presence enhances the gritty, raw energy of the scene, making Barrymore's stance and expression even more commanding. Seliger's use of black-and-white photography heightens the dramatic, vintage feel of the composition, giving it a timeless, cinematic quality. From the Olympus of the music industry to the Oscar portrait studio - Mark Seliger's oeuvre is a tribute to art and pop culture in modern America. Starting as a magazine photographer who went on to shoot over 100 Rolling Stone covers, Seliger is known for his meticulously planned portraits. Whether highly conceptual or intuitive, his photographs of David Bowie, Nirvana, or the Rolling Stones radiate an intellectual coolness. Seliger's portraits walk the fine line between hyper-reality and surrealism, revealing a sense of honesty that's unique in celebrity photography. His work stands out for combining technical precision with an almost painterly attention to composition and lighting.
