Untitled Mixed Media Artworks Appraisal

Two Untitled Mixed Media Artworks

This lot consists of two distinct pieces of untitled mixed media artwork, likely created on black paper or thin cardboard, displaying a raw and expressive style. Each piece measures approximately 11x17 inches, typical of standard paper sizes, and is depicted lying flat on a wooden floor, suggesting a casual presentation. The upper artwork features a dominant, outlined figure in white and purple resembling a stylized monstrous creature or abstract beast, possibly a dragon or similar mythological being, with visible horns and an open mouth. Within the outline, there are numerous abstract symbols, lines, and possible glyphs, creating a texture effect. To the left, text appears to read "LOVE?" with arrows, and an illegible signature "LK" is present at the bottom left. A faint "30C" or "30" marking is visible on the right. The lower artwork is more abstract, utilizing white spray paint to create two broad, illuminated-like shapes, with further abstract lines and markings within them in white and potentially light purple or grey. A thin, dark, stick-figure like element with horizontal lines extends from the lower central area, casting a shadow. The word "HATE" is prominently written vertically on the right side of this piece. Both pieces exhibit a rough, almost street-art or graffiti aesthetic. The edges of both artworks show some wear and minor tears, particularly on the bottom left of the upper piece and the top edge of the lower piece, consistent with being handled or stored without framing. The black background shows some light scuffing or dust accumulation. The visible condition suggests these are recent works, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, in an amateur to semi-professional capacity, focusing on thematic contrasts between love and hate.
