mixed media on canvas – collage, acrylic, oil pastel, charcoal
36 x 36 inches / 91.5 x 91.5 cm

Portrait of André Leon Talley honors the towering legacy of one of fashion’s most influential voices. Known for his larger-than-life persona, sharp wit, and groundbreaking contributions to the industry, André Leon Talley is reimagined in this 36 x 36-inch mixed media collage as the bold, regal figure he was—both a critic and a creator of culture.

Austin Call (Duhrivative) blends collage, vibrant acrylic washes, textured oil pastel, and expressive charcoal lines to capture Talley’s signature opulence and presence. Layered fabrics, abstracted patterns, and deep, rich tones evoke the elegance and grandeur André brought to fashion while fragmented forms reflect the complexity of his role as a trailblazer, an outsider, and an icon.

At the heart of the piece is Talley’s commanding gaze, framed by dynamic textures and sweeping strokes that mirror the fluidity of haute couture and the weight of his cultural impact.

This unique mixed media artwork is signed, dated, and priced at $1,000.00—a tribute to one of fashion’s most unforgettable figures, perfect for collectors who value art that bridges identity, style, and legacy.
