Split Decision, a small abstract mixed media collage with bold brushstrokes and crisp colour fields on a strong diagonal

Split Decision

Acrylic and paper on birch panel | 8 x 8 inches | 2025 | $200

Split Decision captures the moment when opposing ideas don’t cancel each other out — they build something new. Created by painting in two contrasting styles on paper and then cutting and reassembling the pieces into collage, this small work holds both chaos and clarity, gesture and precision. The strong diagonal composition suggests movement, momentum, and maybe even a turning point. It’s a reminder that a painting — like a life — doesn’t have to choose just one direction.

Perfect for collectors who love bold colour, layered texture, and the quiet thrill of reinvention.
