Emperors Mess

$5,000.00

48x48 in | oil sticks, acrylic, markers, spray paint on canvas

Not every painting comes together cleanly and this one didn't pretend to. There is a tension in it between order and disorder that I stopped trying to resolve. The square format holds it all in, just barely. I've always liked paintings that feel like they have an argument going on inside them and this one has plenty to say. The title comes from Kaiserschmarrn, a scrambled Austrian dessert that looks like a mess and tastes extraordinary. That's the reference. Something that looks like chaos and turns out to be exactly right.
