This painting reimagines the intense boxing match from Rocky III in a vivid, pop-surrealist style, capturing the moment when Clubber Lang (Mr. T) dominates his opponent. Executed in homage to the expressive flair of LeRoy Neiman, Markham’s composition bursts with movement and saturated color. The rainbow waves framing the fighters evoke the vintage vibrancy of 1980s Activision game art, transforming a cinematic moment into a dynamic, abstract spectacle.
Blending fine art technique with nostalgic video game aesthetics, Vs. V (Activision Boxing) stands as a powerful fusion of pop culture, athleticism, and painterly expression. It’s a perfect piece for collectors of contemporary surrealism, retro gaming art, and bold statement works.
