Dominic Pangborn Float Like a Butterfly Sting Like a Bee Signed Unique Painting

About the Item

This powerful piece captures the iconic vigor and spirit of a legendary boxer Muhammed Ali, famously known for his quick footwork and sharp jabs, epitomized by the phrase ""Float Like a Butterfly Sting Like a Bee"" acrylic painting by international artist Dominic Pangborn. This portrait is a tribute to the boxer's dynamic presence both inside and outside the ring, set against a backdrop that suggests the American flag, nodding to the fighter's significant impact on the nation's cultural and social history. From the personal collection of Dominic Pangborn. The painting was a marquee painting in the artist's studio and it was never offered to the market until now. Signed in the bottom corner. Dimensions: 34"h x 34”w (framed). In very good condition. World renowned artist Dominic Pangborn has been a celebrated Detroit artist for decades. In 1978 Pangborn moved to Detroit, and in 1979 he opened Pangborn Design, Ltd. Over the years, his clients included Kmart, Sears, General Motors, Chrysler, and Procter & Gamble. He expanded his studio to include locations in Chicago, New York, and Tokyo. In addition to graphic arts, he launched a line of neckwear that was sold at retailers which included Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom. Along with the neckwear, Pangborn designs furniture, home accessories and textiles. Pangborn's fine art includes various media, including painting and sculpting. In July 2014, he opened a three-month-long, 60-piece retrospective exhibit of his design and art career at the Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History in Jackson, Mich. His fine art has been collected and sold around the world. He says his greatest influences are Joseph Mallord William Turner and Leonardo da Vinci.
