Shape Shifter
55 × 39. Acrylic on board. Framed.
This painting is a complex, abstract composition that combines geometric shapes with a textured, painterly approach, creating a sense of depth and fragmentation. The canvas is divided into a patchwork of angular forms—triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids—that interlock and overlap, giving the piece a cubist-inspired structure. The shapes are outlined with loose, expressive lines, and the boundaries between them are often blurred or softened by the heavy application of paint.
The composition feels both chaotic and structured, with the geometric shapes providing a framework for the more organic, expressive application of paint. Certain sections, like the central area with its mix of red, black, and white, are particularly dense and chaotic, evoking a sense of turmoil or energy, while other areas, like the peach and teal shapes in the lower left, feel more subdued and balanced. The white shape near the center acts as a focal point, drawing the eye amidst the surrounding complexity.
This painting blends elements of cubism and abstract expressionism, reminiscent of artists like Pablo Picasso or Jean Dubuffet, who explored fragmented forms and raw, textured surfaces to convey emotional or psychological depth. The piece feels like a visual representation of a fragmented landscape or a deconstructed cityscape, with its angular forms and earthy tones suggesting both natural and urban influences.
