Tangerine Boiler Room is a bold, intimate original by California artist RD Riccoboni — a sultry sailor in a white cap, shirtless, in white briefs, standing against a background of flaming orange, painted in Riccoboni’s signature naïve style. Confident, warm, and radiating heat.
This is a companion piece to the iconic Tangerine Sailor portrait and part of the Sailor Portrait Series — nine original paintings, each rendered in a different bold color, each a distinct character and mood. Collect one or collect them all.
Riccoboni’s naïve style brings a joyful directness to the figure — flat, graphic, and full of personality — that makes each Sailor portrait instantly recognizable and endlessly collectible.
