State of the Economy — Original Mixed-Media Commentary Art
Description
State of the Economy is a raw, expressive, and unfiltered visual commentary on the chaos, pressure, and uncertainty of modern economic life. This two-panel mixed-media piece uses bold symbolism and high-contrast imagery to confront the viewer with the emotional impact of financial instability and societal tension.
The upper panel features fragmented shapes, striking hand imagery, and explosive streaks of red, yellow, and black—evoking volatility, rapid change, and systems in collapse or transformation. The lower panel amplifies the theme with a stark white face frozen in shock or disbelief, contrasted against a black figure with intense red and orange accents. Together, the panels create a narrative of concern, confusion, resilience, and adaptation.
Sculpted connectors and textured layers bring depth and dimension, allowing the artwork to physically “break” the wall plane—symbolizing how economic forces intrude into our daily lives in unpredictable ways.
This piece is bold, confrontational, and deeply thought-provoking—perfect for collectors of political art, contemporary social commentary, and expressive abstract storytelling.
