Disparate Entities

Disparate Entities is a strikingly imaginative abstract composition that fuses anatomical motifs with surrealist abstraction. The piece is a vibrant tapestry of color and form, where human biology is reinterpreted through a kaleidoscopic lens. Dominated by bold hues—crimson, cerulean, yellow, and fuchsia—each element is outlined in assertive black, lending the work a stained-glass-like clarity and intensity.

On the left, a large, vividly rendered eye with red lashes and a blue iris gazes outward, encased in a braided structure suggestive of hair or neural pathways. Above it, a pink and red brain-like form unfurls in intricate folds, evoking cognition and consciousness. The central area is a dense interplay of biomorphic shapes: a red heart-like figure, brain, lungs and other ambiguous anatomical references that pulse with symbolic energy.

To the right, a screaming mouth, menacing yet mesmerizing. Beneath it, two brown, kidney-shaped forms are linked by sinuous lines, reinforcing the theme of internal systems and connectivity.

The background is a subdued patchwork of trapezoidal forms in grays, browns, and beiges, providing a neutral stage that allows the saturated foreground elements to vibrate with intensity. The composition is both chaotic and controlled, inviting viewers to explore the tension between the organic and the abstract, the known and the imagined.

This artwork challenges the viewer to consider the body not as a clinical diagram but as a site of emotion, memory, and surreal transformation. It blurs the boundaries between science and symbolism, anatomy and art, creating a visual language that is at once cerebral and visceral. The result is a compelling meditation on the inner workings of both the human form and the human psyche.

This piece features a cadmium red heart, a pair of kidneys, an open (screaming) mouth, a brain, both a large and a small intestine, a tap, a pair of lungs, some tentacles, bunny ears, two ear lobes, a moustache, and an eye with eyelashes.
