Pop Art – Hilger GS 2-10. - Eines von 199 Exemplaren. - Druck bei Carini, S. Giovanni Valdarno, Italien. - Hrsg. v. Galerie Ernst Hilger, Wien. - In "Wonder Woman #3" stellt Ramos die ikonische, medial weit verbreitete Superheldin in seinem unverwechselbaren künstlerischen Stil dar, in dem sich knallige, bunte Farben mit einer spielerischen Formensprache verbinden. Das kraftvolle Bild der Wonder Woman steht einer spielerischen Suggestion von Sinnlichkeit gegenüber und betont die Schnittstelle von Populärkultur, Fantasie und idealer Weiblichkeit. Ramos kritisiert und erhebt gleichzeitig die Darstellung von Frauen in den Medien und bedient sich deren einprägsamer Ästhetik, um Themen wie Identität, begehren und Kommerzialisierung der weiblichen Figur zu untersuchen. Inspiration für ihn sind bereits seit seinem frühesten Schaffen Bilder aus US-amerikanischen Comicheften.
