Sorry, y’all — I lost my job yesterday. Been feeling pretty listless.
I can’t finish this edition of #AfternoonArtCritic.
So I’m just gonna sit with Sunny War,
in the time of Sunny Wars.

Thanks for being here.

Flesh and Spirit – Jean-Michel Basquiat (1982–83)
The flesh is here. The spirit is gone.
Visibly severed. No unity, no illusion.
Basquiat pulls you under —
Not to float.
To feel the depth.

Pollo Frito – Jean-Michel Basquiat (1982)
Orange, red, asphalt black.
Read his words. Hear the dissonance.
The mind tries to reconcile what it wants with what is.
It doesn't resolve. It collides.

Untitled (Skull) – Jean-Michel Basquiat (1981)
A splash of dissonance for a world still pretending harmony.
The skull cracks. Identity unravels.
Society’s chaos, raw and screaming in color.
