Meet #16: Papa Graffiti
Bold, rebellious, and unapologetically vibrant, '#16 Papa Graffiti' reimagines Ernest Hemingway as a streetwise icon of Key West. Part of our'100 Hemingways' series, this 16" x 24" mixed-media artwork explodes with color and energy, framed in a sleek white floater frame. Hemingway, clad in his signature turtleneck, wields a spray paint can while graffiti symbols, neon cocktails, and Key West roosters come to life around him.
The backdrop of dripping spray-painted words—Write Drunk, Edit Sober—sets the tone for this piece, fusing Hemingway’s legendary wit with the raw edge of street art culture. Accents of diamond dust shimmer across the design, adding a layer of depth and urban brilliance that captures the creative chaos of Hemingway’s spirit.
'#16 Papa Graffiti' is more than a portrait; it’s a collision of literature, nightlife, and island energy—a tribute to Key West’s playful defiance and Hemingway’s enduring legacy.
