PEACE POLICE

JUSTICE

Alberto León’s first large painting, created in 2012 and measuring 146 cm, is an intense and somewhat chaotic mix where multiple concepts and references converge. It features iconic images such as James Dean, Tyson’s bite on Holyfield, and the symbol of women, all integrated with modern and old posters, words written in spray paint, and an explosion of paint and color.

This piece marks the beginning of León’s exploration, showing his interest in combining the visual with the symbolic, the historical with the urban, in a vibrant composition that reflects the noise and complexity of popular culture.

KO

This diptych, made up of two canvases of 40 x 100 cm each, shows the famous photo of Muhammad Ali knocking down Sonny Liston, recreated with the collage technique with torn posters with which Alberto León began his work.

The main image extends across both paintings, connected by a ray that crosses and unites the pieces, providing dynamism and continuity. In the upper right appears Ali’s face in stencil in one ink, while on the left reads THE GREATEST, and on the right, words like FIGHT and KO reinforce the energy and intensity of the scene. It is a visual tribute that mixes history, typography and urban materials in a vibrant composition full of strength.

FRANK SINATRA

In this large format of 146 x 114 cm, Alberto León presents a sober and elegant work, built on a base of granulated paste that brings body and texture to the background. At the top, the letters Jack Daniels stand out, as a nod to the classic and nocturnal style associated with the central figure: Frank Sinatra.

Without the use of collage, the image of Sinatra appears in the center, made in four-color stencil, with a balance between detail and graphic synthesis. The sober treatment of color and the cleanliness of the composition reinforce the singer’s presence, transforming him into a timeless icon, with the direct force of a poster but with the texture and depth of the painting.

ANGEL

In this 50 x 100 cm vertical canvas, Alberto León portrays a young Mick Jagger singing in the center, with an angel’s halo above his head that contrasts with his iconic rebel image. Above, the lyrics Jack Daniels are integrated into the composition, adding a touch of popular culture and lightheartedness.

The work is loaded with torn posters and layers of vibrant color, creating a dynamic and urban atmosphere. León mixes the ironic sanctity of the halo with the raw energy of the singer, resulting in a piece that celebrates the duality between innocence and rebellion, wrapped in the visual chaos of the street.
