24x48
In this painting, the artist presents a raw and chaotic interpretation of a double date, using their signature postmodern and surrealist style to expose the underlying tension and absurdity in human interaction. The phrase
"2on2" in the top left corner references the strategic nature of two men picking up two women, framing the scene as less about romance and more about social maneuvering.
The first and third characters are paired together, while the second and fourth characters form the other couple. Their exaggerated features, manic expressions, and erratic linework suggest a night teetering between excitement and disaster.
The first figure, wearing a green shirt, has a square, block-like face with jagged teeth and hollow eyes, appearing disoriented or uncomfortable. His stiff posture and the scrawled phrase "SOME THINGS & LEFT BETTER UNSAID" suggest an underlying unease in the situation.
• His date, the third figure, is draped in a white dress,
with frazzled hair and a blank, almost haunted expression.
Her exaggerated wide eyes and stitched mouth imply she may be suppressing thoughts or emotions.
Meanwhile, the second couple:
• The second figure, wearing a red "MAGA" hat and a
green shirt, exudes a smug or dominant presence. His expression, like the first figure's, is unsettling, reinforcing themes of control or manipulation.
• His date, the fourth figure, is dressed in a blue outfit
with exaggerated curly hair. Her large, spiraling eyes and jagged teeth make her look mid-sentence, as if caught between excitement and discomfort.
The artist's frantic, layered brushstrokes and chaotic composition emphasize themes of performance, coercion, and the artificiality of social interactions. The figures, while together, seem disconnected-perhaps trapped in the motions of an orchestrated encounter rather than genuine connection. The work satirizes the rituals of dating, exposing the strategic and sometimes predatory nature of social dynamics in a way that is both humorous and deeply unsettling.
