<b>ISHISHI - Double Elvis Portrait with Serpent Tail - Pop-Surrealist Mixed Media on Paper</b><br> Signed contemporary work on paper. Pop-surrealist double portrait of Elvis Presley. Marker and colored pencil on paper. Unframed.<br><br> <b>Description</b><br> A bold pop-surrealist work that reimagines Elvis Presley in the tattoo-art tradition. Two overlapping Elvis faces share the frame - the same iconic pompadour quiff doubling up in a fractured, mirrored composition that suggests duality or the split between the King's public legend and private self. The neck dissolves into a curling serpentine tail that winds away to the lower right, giving the portrait an otherworldly, metamorphic quality.<br><br> The heavy black marker outlines are executed with the bold confidence of street art and tattooing, while warm golden yellows, pinks and purples fill the composition. The artist's signature is a standout detail: "ISHISHI " is rendered with a red stitched line running through the lettering, a deliberate trademark visual.<br><br> Elvis art has broad collector appeal: both fine art collectors and pop culture enthusiasts will respond to this piece. The work is in excellent condition on bright white paper. No verso photos provided but the recto is clean and the media appears stable.<br><br> <b>Features</b><br> * Signed lower center: "ISHISHI " with distinctive red stitched-line through signature<br> * Pop-surrealist double portrait of Elvis Presley with serpentine tail<br> * Tattoo-art/street art aesthetic<br> * Marker (black) and colored pencil on white paper<br> * Warm palette: golden yellow, pink, purple against heavy black outlines<br> * Unframed and unmounted - bright clean paper<br><br> <b>Condition</b><br> * Excellent.
