Containment Failure

£120.00

Details

Acrylic paints on Canvas Board

Size - 10 × 12 Inches

This piece comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Artist Description

Containment Failure explores the fragile boundary between composure and collapse. The figure appears caught in a moment of internal rupture, hands pressing inward as if attempting to hold something unseen in place. One eye meets the viewer while the other is obscured, creating a fractured sense of self-awareness and vulnerability.

Rendered in a restrained monochrome palette, the painting removes the comfort of colour and focuses attention on gesture, tension, and expression. The open mouth becomes less a scream than an absence—suggesting words unspoken, pressure unrelieved, and emotions that can no longer remain contained.

Fine cracks in the background echo this quiet instability, hinting at structures beginning to fail beneath the surface. The radiating lines above the figure’s head intensify the sense of psychological pressure, blurring the boundary between illumination and intrusion.

Difficult to look at yet difficult to ignore, Containment Failure invites viewers to confront the moment when the systems we build to hold ourselves together begin to falter.

Prints available soon
