Catwoman: Trading Blows

10" x 10"

Title: Catwoman: Trading Blows

This dynamic mixed-media collage is a powerful fusion of popular culture and antique elements, centered on the iconic figure of Catwoman. The artwork is dominated by images of the DC Comics character in her signature purple suit, captured in dramatic, action-oriented poses. The collage effectively uses comic panel overlays to create a sense of movement and narrative, including dialogue bubbles like "SURE I'M NEW TO THIS WHOLE CRIME-FIGHTING THING..."

The background is a dense, thoughtful layering of historical ephemera:

• Text & Drawing: Beneath the comic cut-outs is a layer of antique French text and a ghostly, abstracted black-and-white drawing or sketch of a figure, bridging the modern action with an historical shadow.

• Historical Figure: Near the bottom right, a small, preserved antique photograph of a smiling, formally dressed woman is visible, offering a striking, grounded contrast to the fantasy and motion of the foreground.

This piece is ideal for collectors who appreciate comic art, historical juxtaposition, and collages that explore themes of identity, action, and the layering of visual narratives.
