Untitled 14 (Untitled 14)

This abstract composition assembles a rugged architecture of color—stacked planes of vermilion, rust, and earthen brown—where thick impasto and scraped passages make the surface feel excavated rather than painted. A luminous, weathered white core interrupts the heat like a sudden clearing, suggesting a fragile threshold between rupture and renewal as pigments bleed, fracture, and re-form across the grid. The interplay of sharp vertical seams and eroded edges stages a quiet tension between structure and collapse, as though the work is both a city wall and a memory wall, bearing the stains of time. In its layered abrasions, the painting turns material damage into metaphor, proposing that endurance is built from accumulated marks.
