Humbug

Humbug explores the primal echoes of expressionism, drawing inspiration from the transformative styles of Picasso and de Kooning. The title, a playful nod to deception or trickery, underlines the work's challenge to the viewer's perceptions of art and identity. The exaggerated features and fluid strokes are a deliberate homage to Picasso's revolutionary cubist visages and de Kooning's intense, emotive lines. This piece is a dance of absurdity and depth, inviting a deeper look beyond the first impression, much like the masters who inspired it.
