mixed media collage on canvas – acrylic, oil pastel, paper, charcoal
30 x 40 inches / 76.2 x 101.6 cm

Portrait of Courtney Love captures the raw, chaotic energy of grunge icon Courtney Love, stripped of glamor and laid bare in a fragmented, deconstructed portrait. Layers of torn paper, aggressive charcoal strokes, smeared acrylic, and expressive oil pastel collide on the expansive 30 x 40-inch canvas, reflecting the volatility and vulnerability that defined Love’s presence as a frontwoman in the ‘90s grunge scene.

This unique mixed media collage channels both defiance and fragility, echoing the emotional turbulence that shaped Love’s public persona. The rough textures and chaotic layering mirror the grunge aesthetic—raw, messy, and brutally honest.

Signed, dated, and one-of-a-kind, Portrait of Courtney Love is a bold homage to a complex figure in music and feminist punk culture, making it a powerful addition for collectors of pop culture, grunge, and deconstructed art.
