Pencil on paper - Unique drawing // Mel Ramos’s Peek a Boo Barbie (1995) is a unique pencil drawing that features a stylized female figure framed within the outline of a keyhole, a common motif in Ramos’s work that emphasizes the voyeuristic nature of the image. The figure, which recalls the iconic Barbie doll, is depicted with exaggerated proportions and a playful pose, her hands raised to her head as she gazes directly at the viewer. The simple pencil lines create a minimalist yet impactful composition, underscoring Ramos’s ongoing exploration of pop culture icons and the themes of beauty, objectification, and desire. The keyhole framing reinforces the idea of the subject being watched, evoking a sense of curiosity and playfulness.
