mixed media on canvas – collage, acrylic, oil pastel, charcoal
24 x 36 inches / 61 x 91.5 cm

Portrait of Pete Burns pays tribute to the boundary-breaking icon, capturing the raw energy, unapologetic self-expression, and androgynous beauty that defined Pete Burns. Using a layered mix of collage, acrylic, oil pastel, and charcoal, Austin Call (Duhrivative) deconstructs the image of Burns, emphasizing the fusion of glamour and chaos that made him a cult figure in music and fashion.

The 24 x 36-inch canvas is alive with sharp contrasts—bold color fields clash with raw textures, reflecting the tension between artifice and authenticity that Burns embodied. Fragments of image and material swirl together in a portrait that blurs the lines between beauty and distortion, celebrating Burns as a pop provocateur and queer icon.

This unique mixed media artwork is signed, dated, and designed for collectors drawn to pop culture legends, queer history, and deconstructed portraiture.
