Moose
A moose emerges from a riot of color—turquoise, yellow, red, and electric green collide in thick, gestural strokes that suggest both landscape and hallucination. The animal is grounded, realistic, almost photographic, but the world around it has lost all stability. Paint drips, splatters, and pools inways that feel both violent and celebratory, as though the canvas itself is combusting with energy.The moose is calm. It does not react to the chaos. Its gaze is steady, its posture unbothered, as though it has always lived in this chromatic storm and knows no other reality. The contrast between the animal's stillness and the background's frenzy creates a strange tension—is the moose trapped in the chaos, or is it the only thing holding the painting together?The surface is heavily worked: layers of paint, texture, and collage suggest this image has been reworked, revisited, reconsidered. The moose is not an afterthought—it is the anchor, the one element that refuses to dissolve.9 × 12 inches. Mixed media on canvas.
