Portrait of Jackie Chan (2024)
collage on canvas
24 x 36 inches / 61 x 91.5 cm
Part of the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s “Happy Fall: A Queer Stunt Spectacular” Group Show
Portrait of Jackie Chan celebrates the legendary stunt performer and actor through a deconstructed lens, highlighting his duality as both a global action star and a symbol of vulnerability within the chaos of physical comedy. Using layered collage and dynamic cut-and-reassemble techniques, Austin Call (Duhrivative) captures the kinetic energy that defines Chan’s legacy.
The 24 x 36-inch canvas plays with fragmentation and movement—angular forms, bursts of color, and stark shadows mirror the gravity-defying nature of Chan’s stunts while reflecting on the performative masks worn by Hollywood icons. As part of the “Happy Fall: A Queer Stunt Spectacular” exhibition, the piece subtly interrogates the intersections of performance, masculinity, and spectacle within Hollywood’s star-making machine.
This unique artwork is signed, dated, and serves as both tribute and critique—perfect for collectors drawn to pop culture, cinematic history, and layered narratives in art.
