Brutal Pinks of Los Angeles is a bold architectural collage that fuses the iconic pink facades of Los Angeles with the minimalist, color-saturated influence of Luis Barragán. Drawing direct inspiration from the famously pink Paul Smith building and four other pivotal LA structures, Austin Call (Duhrivative) deconstructs and reassembles their forms into a sprawling 60 x 48-inch canvas—an homage to architecture that simultaneously dismantles its rigid design codes.

Through layered collage, acrylic, oil pastel, and bold charcoal strokes, Brutal Pinks transforms the urban landscape into a vibrant, geometric abstraction. Varying shades of pink create depth and contrast, while jagged lines and fragmented structures reflect the chaotic beauty of Los Angeles itself. The piece thrives in contradiction—both a celebration of architectural icons and a critique of traditional design aesthetics.

Signed and dated - Brutal Pinks of Los Angeles stands as a monumental statement on the collision of color, culture, and constructed space—perfect for collectors of contemporary collage and architectural art.
