J. Akston's Blight is a visceral meditation on entropy--an abstract landscape where nature's decay takes on poetic form. Rendered in acrylic and enamel on paper, the composition is pierced by a jagged blackened form that cleaves the scene like a felled limb or scorched fault line. Surrounding this central trauma is a ghostly palette of pale greens, ash blues, and jaundiced yellows, suggesting both the sickness of the earth and the fading memory of something once verdant. Akston resists the temptation to tidy up; instead, he leans into chaos, letting the paint drip, bruise, and howl. It's a work that lingers like smoke in the lungs--uncomfortable, unforgettable.
