Cirque du Démence (Existential Vaudeville) Print

Painted on canvas board, this conceptual painting is a visual representation of one vibrantly fading into the moment through introspection, an attempt to capture unsure self-identity. The makeup of the clown (a beacon of exaggerated situational performance) offers a look of manic enthusiasm at first glance, but a deeper look into the expression reveals a conflicting mix of bewilderment, uncertainty and concern under a glaze of sullen apathy. The form of the clown is broken and scattered, partially blending into the colorful backdrop, showing not only a world in a blur but what happens when the clown is being enveloped by that blur of displacement.
