Channeling the raw intensity of street art and the structured fragmentation of cubism, Overload depicts a stylized, robot-like entity caught in a moment of static tension. The central figure is constructed from heavy black outlines and blocks of white, ochre, and crimson, creating a jarring yet cohesive composition. Radiating lines surround the head like a halo of chaotic energy, suggesting an internal monologue manifesting outward—a visual representation of sensory or cognitive saturation. It is a bold exploration of modern anxiety and identity, perfect for contemporary collectors.
A square-format contemporary painting titled Overload depicting a central, abstract figure that resembles a skull or a mask. The figure is painted in stark white with heavy black outlines, featuring mismatched eyes—one a concentric target, the other a wide white circle with a black pupil. The mouth is a rectangular grimace revealing teeth. The body is segmented and skeletal, blocked in with beige and red. The background is a textured dark grey, punctuated by abstract geometric shapes and white, halo-like spikes radiating from the figure's head. The color palette is limited to black, white, grey, deep red, and mustard yellow.
