VanGod / Acrylic on Canvas / 68×99 cm / 2022
Mick Chew’s painting is an explosion of psychedelic abstraction and symbolism, rendered through vivid, electrifying colors and rhythmic geometric patterns. The piece immediately draws viewers into a mesmerizing kaleidoscope, where each section of the canvas seems alive with motion and energy.
At the core of the painting is a dominant anthropomorphic face, stylized yet unmistakable:
- The piercing green eyes command attention with their intense gaze, radiating a sense of cosmic awareness or divine omnipresence.
- A strong central nose bridge and cheek structure are crafted from angular, vibrant stripes, creating depth while also resembling tribal masks or ancient iconography.
- The mouth area, shaped with sharp zigzag yellow patterns, looks both joyful and sinister — evoking the dual nature of existence: playful yet powerful, chaotic yet controlled.
Surrounding this face is an intricate tapestry of patterns and symbols:
- Floral motifs like sunflowers float harmoniously among the chaos, possibly symbolizing growth, rebirth, or enlightenment.
- Wave-like swirls in blues and whites on the sides bring a sense of movement, mimicking flowing water or wind, adding to the cosmic and elemental feel.
- Sharp triangular shapes, stars, and interconnected maze-like lines fill the background, hinting at cosmic maps, divine structures, or spiritual pathways.
Every corner of the painting is alive with a visual symphony of color, from deep reds and oranges to neon greens and electric blues — together creating a vivid contrast that oscillates between harmony and tension.
