Lithograph in colours on wove - Signed and numbered in pencil - Published by Hilger Edition, with their blindstamp - Printed by Carni, S. Giovanni Valdarno (with the blindstamp). - Image: 65 × 78 cm - Paper: 88 × 100 cm - Catalogue raisonné: Hilger, p. 156. // Mel Ramos’s Elephant Seal (2013) is a limited-edition lithograph that features a provocative, surreal juxtaposition of a nude woman and an elephant seal. The woman is seated playfully on the body of the seal, which is rendered in a smooth, glossy finish with exaggerated realism. Both the figure and the seal have a polished, almost sculptural quality, set against a warm orange background that emphasizes the striking contrast between the human form and the animal. Ramos’s characteristic pop art style blends sensuality with humor, challenging traditional notions of beauty and objectification by mixing iconic imagery with playful absurdity.

What is Comic Strip Art?
Comic strip art refers to artwork that utilizes the subject matter and commercial printing techniques found in comic strips. In the 1960s, a group of artists began creating paintings that incorporated Ben-Day dots—commonly used in comics and advertising—to produce highly graphic designs in bright colors, using traditional art media.
