This work approaches Kurt Cobain through atmosphere, gesture, and surface rather than likeness alone.

Rendered in oil and disrupted with spray paint, the figure is presented as a fractured, unstable presence. The face is suggested rather than defined, allowing posture, movement, and texture to carry identity as much as form.

Spray elements introduce a raw, contemporary abrasion that cuts against the weight of the oils, echoing the tension at the core of the subject: control versus collapse, sincerity versus spectacle. Familiar iconography appears only in passing — not as branding, but as residue — symbols that cling rather than define.

This is not a portrait of performance, but of presence under pressure. A work that leans into instability, embraces imperfection, and allows the surface to hold the discomfort that made the music matter.
