A face stares straight out, brown-skinned and wide-eyed, three gold points rising from its head like a crown cut from cardboard and pure will. The thick black outline and raw, built-up surface give it the force of a mask or a saint's portrait, while the splattered jewel-tone ground keeps it rooted in the street it came from. This is royalty on its own terms — no palace, no permission, just the declaration that the everyday person was crowned all along. One of the artist's clearest signature images.
