Story / Additional InfoThis painting has elements related to the artist’s dual heritage (Anglo and Hispanic). It was created as a playful rendition of a slightly risqué subject matter. The figures are arranged as if in a peep show, but there is a fun, playful atmosphere. The face in the foreground could be a viewer of the peep show or mannequin’s head, rising from the spotted leopard. There is an atmosphere of carnival or fiesta here. The artist was influenced by other Latino artist’s works that play with compositional space in creative ways.
