Mr. Blue. Rodrigo Alzamora, 2011.
This mysterious man in a suit is Mr. Blue from the Shadows series from contemporary European painter Rodrigo Alzamora. Mr Blue was part of this past summer’s Blue Utopia exhibit at the Museu Municipal da Fotografia João Carpinteiro in Elvas, Portugal. Interesting color scheme…Mr. Blue, is your code showing?
