'EMOTION 3' by Joe Giles

Acrylic on Canvas - 101cm x 81cm

This piece developed through a more immediate, instinctive process. The painting centres on intensity and confrontation, with colour and gesture pushing forward rather than resolving into balance. Layers are built quickly, allowing urgency and rawness to remain visible on the surface. Figurative elements emerge briefly before dissolving back into abstraction, creating tension between recognition and disintegration. The work explores vulnerability as something active rather than passive - a state that asserts itself rather than retreats.
