xLa Fureur Du Dragon: Bruce Lee’s Global Legacy
Artist: Chris Tutty
Medium: Acrylic and Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 30 × 40 inches
La Fureur Du Dragon by Chris Tutty is a powerful 30 × 40-inch painting that pays tribute to the legendary Bruce Lee, presented in the style of a classic French movie poster. Drawing from vintage cinema aesthetics, Tutty captures Lee’s commanding presence, unmatched discipline, and enduring influence as a martial artist, actor, and global cultural icon.
In the foreground, Bruce Lee appears shirtless in his iconic fighting stance, his intense gaze and sculpted physique embodying the mastery and philosophy that made him timeless. Behind him, a majestic dragon coils through a backdrop of fiery energy — a symbol of strength, courage, and the indomitable spirit that defined both the man and his art. The bold La Fureur Du Dragon typography evokes the golden age of European cinema posters, while Tutty’s dynamic use of airbrush and oil infuses the image with realism and motion.
This original artwork was proudly featured at the Sien Lok Society Gala in 2023, where it raised over $5,400 in support of the Chinese Cultural Society and the downtown Chinatown community initiatives. The event highlighted Tutty’s ongoing dedication to combining art, culture, and philanthropy — turning creativity into a catalyst for community support.
La Fureur Du Dragon is more than a portrait; it’s a celebration of Bruce Lee’s global legacy — a timeless reminder of his influence on martial arts, cinema, and the unifying power of perseverance and self-expression.
ORIGINAL WORKS (SOLD)
Each original painting is unique and a one-of-a-kind creation. A great amount of time and detail goes into every piece of art — from hand-painted brushstrokes in acrylic and oil mediums to Tutty’s distinctive airbrush technique using Crea-tex Auto-Air Colors and House of Kolors Automotive Paint.
Aspects of geological layering — almost like sedimentary rock — are created with mixed mediums such as metallics, gold and silver flaking, copper and iron magnesium powders, glass resins, pearls, and industrial candy coats found in high-end automotive finishes. Some masterpieces also incorporate molding paste, crackling, and organic materials, giving the surface a sculptural dimension that leaps from the canvas.
ARTIST PROOFS
With the addition of all these materials and techniques in the Original, you may ask, what does an Artist Proof look like and how does it differ from the Original painting? Due to this unique style of artwork, normal prints are not even an option.
An Artist Proof is painted in the same manner as an Original, and all of the above techniques mentioned in the Original are imparted in the Artist Proofs with one exception. Artist Proofs are derived from the original image, which is professionally photographed by Rob Ryan of Render DC prior to completion. The file is digitally remastered with a spectrometer and color balanced, then printed and stretched on canvas to create an archival pigment print.
The stretched canvas is then re-airbrushed to retain the vibrant colors of the original. Molding paste, pearls, metal flakes, candies, and neon paints are reapplied and sealed with glass resins. The Artist Proof equals the Original in quality but carries expressive variations — essentially a new painting based on the Original.
