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.
