  Price Includes U.S. Shipping- 91.44 cm x 91.44 cm / 36 in x 36 in

This 36x36" artwork is mounted on wood stretcher bars with a gallery-wrapped edge, making it ready to hang.

"This artwork captures the tumult of our times through abstract forms, lines and vibrant bursts of color in pastels, oils, and acrylics. It also addresses the need for more water in arid regions and the challenge of managing floodwaters. Amidst the movement and change, there is a deeper exploration of relationships and the potential to transcend our darker instincts, fostering harmony rather than conflict with nature.

My aim is to convey these emotions through gestural movement, attacking the canvas and allowing the mediums to speak individually. The varying shades of blue and black reflect life's struggles and moments of potential calm. 

This piece explores both internal and external scapes in a visceral and dynamic way." -Jacks

I seek the solace of a soft snow
I desire the redwoods
A barren wilderness
Suddenly
The bottle is empty
The last call forsaken 
And that is all
That is all my weary mind can afford 
To extend to you
Oh weary traveler 
That is all
Now watch the poets
Explode like Gods
Drinking 
Moët & Chandon  
Heed their words
“All we wanted was verity
And a full glass. 
Ah, it is cold now. 
Perhaps we should linger here.
Perhaps we should open our lips.
Perhaps we will.”
