Marionette

Oil on canvas.

60x22x1.25"

This vibrant composition merges architectural geometry with organic vitality, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and growth. On the left, tall green stalks rise from a red container—suggestive of cultivated plants or symbolic regeneration. Their verticality contrasts with the central lattice of intersecting lines and shapes, which resemble a stylized building or scaffolded landscape. This central structure feels both constructed and in flux, as if caught mid-transformation.
To the right, a red spiral form with green accents evokes a decorative motif or stylized creature, adding a sense of whimsy and motion. The background pulses with vertical and horizontal bands of color—blue, yellow, orange, and purple—layered in expressive brushstrokes that energize the entire canvas. These bands resist spatial logic, instead creating a rhythmic field that feels both architectural and atmospheric.
Singer’s palette is exuberant, his forms playful yet deliberate. The painting invites multiple readings: a garden of ideas, a surreal blueprint, or a meditation on the coexistence of nature and human design. It’s a space where growth and structure meet—where the organic and the constructed blur into one vivid, living surface.
