Kick Backs, Limited Edition Print

“Kick Backs” is a contemporary figurative work addressing corruption, accountability, and public response.

Referencing the practice of senior political figures receiving “kickbacks” in exchange for decisions made behind closed doors, the work uses the image of a female kickboxer suspended mid-action as a visual counterpoint. The poised kick becomes a symbolic reversal — a call to push back against systems that operate without transparency.

This suspended motion symbolises the moment when frustration shifts into decisive action — the point at which strength is consciously directed rather than suppressed. The gesture embodies resistance, not violence; accountability, not aggression.

Marinelli presents the figure with compositional restraint, allowing posture and spatial tension to carry the message. The work reflects on the power of individual and collective response when integrity is compromised.

“Kick Backs” invites viewers to consider their own role within larger political and social structures — and the possibility of standing firm when ethical lines are crossed.

Suitable for collectors drawn to concept-driven contemporary art that engages with power, justice, and civic responsibility, this piece brings clarity and conviction to any environment.
