Oil paint, Collage, Broken Mirror on 4 x 5 ft Canvas
A dense, vertical field of overlapping fragments—text, dots, grids, vegetal shapes, and flashes of neon green—builds into a turbulent urban totem. Central glyph-like forms and radiating lines suggest a stacked, symbolic figure rising from layers of history, noise, and memory.
This work recalls Synthetic Cubism and Schwitters’ Merz collages, filtered through Rauschenberg’s combines and Neo‑Expressionist urban graffiti. The packed surface and pseudo-hieroglyphs also echo Dubuffet, Basquiat, and postwar Art Brut’s fascination with invented languages and densely layered city walls.
