The Mug Shot presents a provocative and unfiltered portrait that commands attention. Created with Lingua’s signature gel ink technique on cloth paper, this piece is as detailed as it is intense. Every wrinkle, glare, and line is meticulously rendered to heighten the expressive power of the subject—inviting both contemplation and conversation.
This work blends realism with artistic defiance, pushing the viewer to confront themes of identity, power, and public persona. It’s an unapologetic piece—visually bold and symbolically layered—that makes a statement in any collection. Under UV light, hidden textures and iridescent tones glow with an unexpected vitality, enhancing the dramatic impact.
A standout for collectors of contemporary political portraiture and fans of intricate pen-and-ink mastery.
