Chaos Within

“The turbulence is interior. The surface only hints at the storm.”

Chaos Within turns the lens inward. Unlike the outward expressionism of related series, these works present surfaces that appear controlled while the compositional logic underneath strains against that control. JB builds tension through underpainting: structures that are almost resolved, geometries that don't quite close, color relationships held at a frequency just below dissonance. The effect is psychological rather than kinetic. These are not paintings about visible disruption; they are paintings about the effort of holding things together. That effort, invisible but palpable, is the work.
