Opis obrazu

The painting is dominated by a bright green. A bit neon. The background is slathered with layers of paint, from yellow to olive. Rusty brown and brick red peek through the top. A thick black streak runs through the center, like a horizon or torn tape. Around it are sharp brushstrokes and scratches, as if someone had quickly passed a palette knife over it. There are also dots and splatters. The composition is unsettled, but held in check by this horizontal axis. The mood: a bit rebellious, a bit like the calm after the storm. The style is close to expressive and abstract gesture. There's a sense of slight anxiety and relief at the same time, as if the painting were saying that chaos can be okay. This is a green monster, and it's cool.
