Why Not, by Mikael Kenta From the "Iconic" Series Archival Pigment Print with a 1.57-inch white border. Edition of 10 + 1AP.

 The “Iconic” series was presented as part of the exhibition “Walk of Inspiration” showed in Stockholm in 2016. These vibrant unique color images are an homage to the “kitsch pop surrealism". Additional sizes are available. Small size: 31.49 in. H x 23.62in. W Edition of 15 + 1AP Large size: 59.05 in. H x 39.37 in. W Edition of 5 + 1AP All Prices are quoted as "initial price". Please note that prices and availability may change due to current sales.

This striking artwork captures a powerful contrast between human form and natural beauty. A striking, athletic figure sits confidently on the edge of a stark white wall, his dark skin glistening under the bright, sunlit sky. The vibrant turquoise swim shorts add a dash of color, drawing the eye. Behind him, a tall, lush palm tree stands against a backdrop of vivid blue, with soft, wispy clouds adding depth to the scene. The juxtaposition of the strong, sculptural human form with the graceful, organic palm creates a harmonious balance. The composition emphasizes themes of strength, relaxation, and the elegant simplicity of summer, inviting the viewer to ponder the serene yet commanding presence of the subject in this tranquil yet daring setting.
