Feminine King-Kong. 2008

"Feminine King-Kong" (2008) is a vibrantly colored work by the Angolan artist Erro. The painting depicts a woman with a bold red lipstick, her face taking up the majority of the canvas. The woman's features are drawn in a cartoonish style with exaggerated curves and lines, evoking the style of comic book art. Surrounding her are various figures, some partially obscured, all drawn in a similar bold, colorful style, reflecting Erro's signature visual language. This work exemplifies Erro's distinct style, which combines influences from Pop Art and African art, often utilizing bold lines, vibrant colors, and playful imagery.
