“Jungle' lets the unknown speak softly, inviting us into a landscape of shifting truths.”
Jungle (2024) is a sensory map — a layered, energetic abstraction of wildness, vitality, and entanglement. At 72 x 48 inches, this acrylic painting from the Ephemeral Atmosphere collection doesn’t depict a jungle, but immerses you in its logic: the overlapping, the chaos, the symphony of the living.
The composition is dense with motion. Sharp lines cut through thick patches of green, maroon, teal, and acid yellow. Drips, smudges, and overpainting form a visual thicket. There is no background — every inch competes for foreground, every gesture interrupts another. The surface teems.
I created Jungle during a time when my thoughts felt unruly, fecund, urgent. The studio became a forest of ideas — too many, too fast. Rather than fight the density, I painted it.
This work finds rhythm with Joan Mitchell’s abstract gardens and Cy Twombly’s graffiti-like bursts. Like them, I allowed intuition to lead. Every mark is both path and blockage.
Jungle asks the viewer to look, then look again — not for meaning, but for movement. It doesn’t offer orientation. It offers immersion.
