Jack Winthrop "Eye See" Neo-Expressionist Style Mixed Media Painting : This striking mixed-media work by Jack Winthrop (American b.1989) merges painting and sculpture into a powerful commentary on vision, identity, and violence. Executed in acrylic on canvas with layered graffiti-inspired linework, the central composition features a haunting male portrait in deep shades of blue, inscribed with the words “EYE SEE.” A Basquiat-like crown floats above the figure, symbolizing inner sovereignty and resilience amid turmoil. What sets the piece apart is the addition of a bold three-dimensional sculptural element: a vivid yellow-painted machine gun affixed directly onto the canvas. This sculptural intervention, created in collaboration with contemporary artist Charles Gitnick (American, b. 2002)—known for his work interrogating themes of gun culture and youth—transforms the weapon from an object of menace into one of irony, critique, and cultural symbolism. The word “Empty” inscribed on the gun, alongside a heart motif, further underscores the tension between destruction and humanity. With its energetic layering of acrylic, spray strokes, and urban iconography, the artwork resonates within the traditions of Neo-Expressionism, Street Art, and Urban Contemporary assemblage, while its collaborative sculptural gesture amplifies its relevance to today’s cultural discourse.
