"Nuclear Forest"
by Gregory J. Rose

Collector Snapshot
Nuclear Forest reflects Gregory’s 2018 small-format mixed media practice, where dense surface activity and compressed scale sharpened his visual language. The work captures a moment of material confidence and repetition that would later expand into larger panel compositions, making it a concise and collectible anchor within his broader body of work.

Artwork Details
Full Description
Layered vertical bands of black and deep charcoal rise through fields of muted red, pale pink, and exposed wood, creating a rigid, column-like structure across the panel. Dripped lines, splatter marks, and scraped passages interrupt these vertical forms, revealing the raw surface beneath and emphasizing process-driven construction. The contrast between opaque paint, exposed substrate, and erratic linear marks produces a dense surface tension that anchors the work within Gregory’s small-format mixed media language while maintaining visual weight and compositional clarity.
