Nothing for everything
2024
Joint compound with black & white acrylic on canvas
Original edition 1 of 1

Nothing For Everything reflects a modern imbalance, where people expect reward without contribution. It speaks to a culture that takes value, time, and meaning while offering nothing in return and how this entitlement deepens our darkest state, breeding complacency, distortion, and delusion. The work confronts the cost of becoming spoiled by expectation rather than grounded in effort.

All Paintings are sold with a custom floater frame, T.R.A.C.E. Certificate of Authenticity is provided with your painting for your records.

Works are available for private acquisition. Inquire for details.
40 x 30 x 2 1/2 in
101.6 x 76.2 x 6.3 cm
