In this portrait of musician and cultural icon Elton John, Horvath brings together key elements from Elton’s musical legacy. The work features album covers from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Captain Fantastic, and Rocket Man, alongside an abstracted 1970s Elton John concert poster. Also seen, a text reference to Judy Garland paired with a photo remnant of the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. The piece also includes spray-painted stencils of Marilyn Monroe and fellow musician Jimi Hendrix. The composition is completed with vibrant sprays and drips of paint, along with a mix of street posters, creating a dynamic and layered tribute to Elton John’s influence and cultural impact.
