This 16×20 mixed medium painting by Stephen Stocklin features a bold architectural composition with a striking burnt orange vertical band along the right edge contrasting against a predominantly gray palette. The central area contains layered geometric rectangles in charcoal black and gray tones, outlined with thin orange lines that create a structured framework. Distressed textures and white gestural marks give the surface a weathered, industrial quality, while hints of deep red and pink emerge from beneath the gray layers on the left side.
The painting suggests the act of framing experience—how we construct boundaries around our inner worlds while bits of hidden emotion occasionally break through the protective structures we build. The vibrant orange border serves as both container and threshold, holding complexity within while offering an edge where order meets the unknown.
