CROSSING THE UNSTABLE BLUE

Acrylic on canvas.

20x24x1.50"

This painting lives in a charged in-between space: half landscape, half emotional terrain. The palette—icy blues colliding with ember reds and bruised yellows—suggests a city or memory dissolving under pressure. The diagonal black gesture is the backbone of the piece: it cuts, binds, and destabilizes. It feels like a fault line, a branch, or a wound—something that both connects and breaks.
The surface is rich and honest. Drips are not decorative; they feel earned, like gravity asserting itself. Some passages glow with intention, others retreat into ambiguity. The tension between control (blocks of color, structuring lines) and surrender (bleeds, erosion, foggy zones) is where the painting succeeds most.
Overall, this is a work about crossing: from clarity into chaos, from warmth into cold, from memory into its afterimage.
