Escape from the Seething Vessel, Return to the Cosmos

$5,400.00

A powerful narrative unfolds across this large-scale work: the left side painted on plastic becomes increasingly abstract and loose as the figure moves toward the city she seeks to escape, while the right side — rendered on canvas — feels more actualized yet intentionally fragile. The two halves are physically sewn together, creating a visible seam that mirrors the tension between escape and embodiment.

Over time, the more “finished” canvas portion will naturally chip and fade, making the painting a living metaphor for impermanence and transformation.

SIZE: 54" x 92"
MEDIUM : acrylic paint, cut canvas on canvas and plastic

MADE in Brooklyn NYC 2022.

This ambitious, museum-quality statement piece speaks to themes of escape, return to source, and the fragile beauty of becoming. Ideal for collectors seeking large-scale, conceptually rich figurative art with depth and presence.


Price: $5,400
