Darkness, 2022

Acrylic on stretched canvas, unframed, 12 by 12 inches

This piece does not currently have hanging hardware installed, hardware can be installed upon request.

Description: the background is green, black, silver, and white marbled together. At the top is uneven chunky text that reads "Child, I understand the darkness you feel". Below that are two nude figures that are very non-descript, other than they have bright yellow skin, and have black circles covering their heads/faces.
On the back there is a spot that has masking tape on it, this canvas was repurposed after the initial painting was punctured. The masking tape is not needed for security or anything, I just thought it kind of added to the weirdness of this specific canvas.

Backstory/detail: this is more about addressing an "inner child" or childish [thought] patterns that continue into the present rather than addressing another person that is a child, though that is a welcome interpretation, it is art.
