A visceral collision of color, texture, and energy, GILDED CHAOS captures the chaotic beauty of life blooming through the cracks of the city. Inspired by street art, industrial decay, and spontaneous mark-making, this abstract expressionist work evokes a field of defiant urban flowers—emerging boldly against a backdrop of grit and gold.

Heavy textures, palette knife gestures, and dynamic drips interplay with stark red blooms, ghostly white loops, and gestural black arcs. Layers of ochre, rust, and cream evoke aged metal and peeling walls, while spontaneous splatters and scratches lend a sense of urgency and rawness.

Part of my ongoing series exploring the intersection of nature and the city, GILDED CHAOS invites viewers to find beauty in imperfection, vitality in decay, and resilience in the most unexpected places.
