House of Cards
Queens and kings in crumbling pose,
A painted bluff the banker knows.
Red and black, the stakes run deep—
A fortune built on borrowed sleep.

This gouache on paper uses gestural abstraction layered with card imagery, blending spontaneity with underlying structure to evoke the fragility of financial systems. With rapid strokes, grid textures, and fragmented suits, it aligns with expressionist social commentary. Part of the Credit Card Collection, it fits within mixed-media conceptual art, critiquing consumerism and risk through playful visual metaphor.
