This work by Steve Halay bursts with raw energy and layered meaning. Dominated by a wide-eyed, toothy figure split between red and blue, the painting suggests conflict, consumption, and identity fractured down the middle. The graffiti-like text “I stole this” scrawled across the top challenges ownership, originality, and the idea of what is truly authentic in art and culture. At the bottom, the phrase “stop wearing Nike” strikes like a manifesto—an attack on conformity, consumerism, and the blind worship of brands. Bold brushstrokes, rough lines, and chaotic color fields intensify the urgency, making this piece both a critique and a provocation.
