This striking large-scale work by Jack Winthrop exemplifies his bold fusion of Neo-Expressionist figuration and urban street art aesthetics. Part of his Wounded Healer series and executed in acrylic, spray paint, and mixed media on canvas, the painting vibrates with graphic energy, fragmented imagery, and symbolic text. At the center, a stylized figure rendered in sharp black and white lines confronts the viewer, its features fractured into cubist planes and layered with surreal iconography.

Words and phrases—“FATE,” “NOT REAL ECHO,” “SINK SWIM,” “I AM YOU”—float across the surface, evoking themes of identity, illusion, and existential choice. A three-dimensional red toy gun is affixed to the canvas, cutting across the composition with a jarring physical presence, underscoring tensions between violence, play, and fate. The red gun is an addition in collaboration with LA Based artist Charles Gitnick.

Winthrop’s palette of electric yellows, turquoise, and deep blacks amplifies the urban edge of the work, while arrows, crowns, and graffiti-style marks channel the visual language of both Jean-Michel Basquiat and contemporary mural culture. The layering of text, symbols, and figuration creates a restless dialogue between chaos and order, the personal and the universal.
