A Whole Lot of Beautiful And A Whole Lot Of Crazy
Original oil painting with spray paint border, framed - £1,500
This large-scale oil painting explores Harley Quinn at the moment when her wildness is briefly interrupted by awe. A classic ‘moment’ that the artist is always looking for in his work
Executed during a period of deliberate return to realism, the work focuses on weight, structure, and physicality — pushing scale and detail to reassert control over form, anatomy, and light. The face is rendered with precision and restraint, allowing subtle shifts in tone, shadow, and texture to carry emotional tension rather than exaggeration. A spray-painted border frames the composition, introducing a contemporary edge that contrasts with the classical oil technique. The collision of mediums mirrors the subject herself — glamour and violence, control and chaos — held in tension.
This piece marks a moment of recalibration in the artist’s practice: a renewed commitment to realism, scale, and material confidence, executed with intent and restraint.
