Description
This contemporary artwork features a collage-like composition of various visual elements. The dominant colors are yellow, white, and shades of gray, creating a vibrant and dynamic contrast.

Sam Pulitzer
Sam Pulitzer works in photography, drawing and installation, and consistently couples these mediums with written text. Through manipulating the visual tropes and language of advertising, particularly billboard campaigns, Pulitzer teases out the philosophical or poetic aspects of his chosen imagery.
