Calico is a vibrant male portrait by California artist RD Riccoboni — part of his Beartropolis collection, painted in a loose impressionist style with geometric influences that are a natural evolution of the Beartropolis universe.
The subject is bathed in a full rainbow palette — hot pinks, electric yellows, lime greens, oranges, cobalt blues, and reds all dancing together, built from loose chunky color blocks with just a few bold black lines defining the figure. Bold, joyful, and unapologetically queer. It feels like confetti and sunlight at the same time.
Riccoboni’s fluid, expressive brushwork builds layers of color that blur the line between portrait and pure abstraction, giving each piece a unique, living energy.
