The artwork, titled “Subliminal Projects,” was created by the artist Blek le Rat and is a part of the street art movement. This piece belongs to the graffiti and figurative genres and is currently located in the Subliminal Projects Gallery in Los Angeles, California, USA.
The artwork features a stark contrast of a simplified, abstract figure rendered in blue against the representational depiction of a young boy stenciled in black and white. The abstract figure on the left side consists of a stick-like human form with exaggerated limbs, which juxtaposes the realistic portrayal of the child standing on the right. The boy’s pose, attire, and shadows are intricately stenciled, highlighting the artist’s refined technique in combining different styles within a single composition. This interplay between abstraction and figurative elements is emblematic of the artist’s distinctive approach within the realm of street art.
