"Feeling Like You've Sat Down at the Wrong Meeting" is a dynamic exploration of chaos and order, rendered in vibrant acrylics, Sharpie, paint marker, and collage on raw canvas. The composition is a vortex of activity, with delicate gradients in pink, yellow, and blue as a backdrop for poured, dripped, and smeared paint. Sharpie doodles, industrial serial number tags, and promotional materials from Yupo are collaged into the work, creating a tension between the precision of manufactured elements and the primal energy of the painting’s overall composition.

The raw canvas surface, soaked in water and then dyed with high-flow acrylics, creates a delicate, almost ethereal base. This contrasts sharply with the bold, aggressive mark-making that defines the top layers, where swirling patterns of paint and line coalesce into a frenetic yet balanced whole. The painting captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by contrasting elements, akin to finding oneself in a situation that feels disorienting or out of place.

This piece reflects the artist’s ongoing engagement with themes of control versus chaos, precision versus spontaneity. The inclusion of personal and professional artifacts within the composition adds an autobiographical layer, connecting the work to broader questions of identity, work, and the interplay between different spheres of life.
