Hypocrisy in Acid Green: Political Satire Collage | Ronald Reagan & Wizard of Oz | 16x20"

A Frenetic Social Reckoning on Power, Performance, and Deception

"Hypocrisy in Acid Green" confronts the viewer with a vivid, unsettling urgency. Neon yellows and greens ignite the composition with frenetic energy, while stark red splatters pierce the surface, underscoring a tone of direct confrontation. At its heart, figures of contradiction a detached Ronald Reagan and a menacing clown evoke a fractured commentary on power and performance.

Fragmented words like "CLOWNS," "STYLE," and "GET LAID" cut abrasively across the image, while currency stacks as a foundational symbol of greed. The integration of characters from The Wizard of Oz, including a menacing Wicked Witch, deepens the themes of alienation and identity within oppressive structures.

This piece resists easy interpretation, offering a charged dialogue between aggression and vulnerability. It is a nuanced, embodied reckoning with hypocrisy's many faces and the emotional exhaustion born of witnessing repeated societal betrayals.
