This 30×40 mixed medium painting by Stephen Stocklin features a dynamic abstract composition on a pale gray-white ground with an explosive cluster of deep blues, rich reds, golden yellows, and dark browns concentrated in the upper left quadrant. Delicate linear marks and sweeping curves flow across the canvas, while geometric shapes—including a striking orange inverted triangle and horizontal bars in green, yellow, and blue—anchor the right side. The work balances energetic gestural passages with precise, almost architectural elements, creating a dialogue between chaos and order.
The painting evokes the mind in motion—thoughts colliding and cascading in one corner while attempting to organize themselves into clarity elsewhere. The bright geometric forms suggest our efforts to impose structure on the beautiful turbulence of consciousness, to chart a course through the storm of experience and find balance between spontaneity and intention.
