Midwest

$3,875.00

Broad swaths of color carve the canvas into a cartography of the Midwest—geometric fields of ochre and chartreuse sit beside mottled, forested greens; ribbons of cobalt and pewter thread like rivers and lakes through cultivated blocks, while rectangles of rust and slate suggest fallow lots and aging landfills. Angular roadways cut the composition with hard, deliberate lines, and here and there a violent smudge or torn edge marks the scars of tornadoes and floods, a raw, textured testament to the landscape’s fury. The abstraction balances productivity and ruin, fertile and spent, mapping not just place but the region’s relentless cycles of harvest, storm, and recovery; a vast, layered terrain where hope and damage coexist across an immense, unforgiving plain.

Unframed original oil/canvas 24” x 36”.
