Contemporary Neo-Expressionist Mixed Media Drawing - "Talanquera"

This is a large-scale contemporary mixed media work on paper, representative of the Neo-Expressionist style. The artwork depicts a seated, horned figure rendered with aggressive, gestural black ink or charcoal strokes and splatters. Splashes of blue and earthy orange pigment are integrated into the central figure, which appears to be seated on a minimal chair structure. The paper features a deckled, uneven edge, suggesting a high-quality, heavy-weight artist paper. At the bottom, the word "TALANQUERA" is prominently inscribed in bold, hand-drawn serif lettering against a muted horizontal band. The composition is characterized by chaotic energy, high-contrast values, and a raw, primal aesthetic. The piece is professionally float-mounted within a white mat and a thin black contemporary frame under glazing. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, tearing, or significant fading, though the inherent splatters and raw edges are intentional stylistic choices. The work evokes the stylistic influence of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat or Spanish contemporary masters. The title "Talanquera" typically refers to a defensive barrier or bullfighting gate, which aligns with the bovine/horned imagery present in the drawing. Total size including frame is estimated to be approximately 30x40 inches.
