Raymond Pettibon — Self-Portrait
Raymond Pettibon

Self-Portrait

A raw and confrontational self-portrait rendered in Raymond Pettibon's signature style of bold ink lines and gestural mark-making, with gouache adding dense, expressive passages of color and tone. The work reflects Pettibon's roots in underground punk culture and his ongoing dialogue between image and text, merging graphic immediacy with psychological intensity. As with much of his practice, the piece blurs the boundary between fine art and illustration, challenging conventional notions of portraiture and self-representation.
