Eyes in Chaos, 2024

Acrylic paint on canvas

65.6 × 90 cm (25.8 × 35.4 in)

This work functions as an interrogation of visual and psychological density, mapping a deliberate progression from raw gesture to graphic containment. The composition builds upon a luminous yellow-green field, hosting a vertical stack of anatomical eye forms rendered in stark black paint. Gestural drips of red paint descend from the eyelashes, running down the canvas and tracking alongside a prominent black vertical drip on the right axis of the forms. The final material intervention introduces a heavy network of labyrinthine acrylic lines, traced directly onto and around the irises. By superimposing this controlled, graphic geometry over the fluid, bleeding layers beneath, the work establishes a clear dialogue between impulse and structural restraint. It stands as a foundational milestone within the archive, documenting an early exploration of the multi-layered containment methodologies developed in later collections.
