About the Item

'King Kong' by American Outsider Artist B.D. Floyd  American, late 20th century Oil on Artist Board 21 inches by 24 inches high Framed 28 inches by 32 inches high "King Kong" by American Outsider Artist B.D. Floyd is a captivating piece from the late 20th century. This oil painting on artist board measures 21 inches by 24 inches and is presented in a framed dimension of 28 inches by 32 inches. "King Kong" is a remarkable embodiment of American folk and outsider art, highlighting Floyd's distinctive style. The composition features a subtle yet highly detailed depiction of the iconic scene, capturing the essence of the cinematic moment with precision and depth, with King Kong holding Fay Wray atop the Empire State Building, set against a colorful skyline landscape. The narrative is enriched by the inclusion of encircling military biplanes, adding depth and drama to the imagery. Floyd's mastery is evident in his ability to convey excitement to the narrative through his simplistic yet evocative brushwork. The painting is signed in the lower right corner. "King Kong" is not merely a work of art; it is a window into the imaginative world of B.D. Floyd and a testament to the enduring power of outsider creativity.
