A classic rock setup stands poised in quiet anticipation: an electric guitar rests angled against a stand, neck rising in elegant sweep; a vintage microphone tilts forward on its boom, head ready to capture sound; behind them looms a stacked amplifier, its grille a textured rectangular grid suggesting latent power.
The scene is reimagined through Cubist-inspired fragmentation: overlapping angular planes and sharp geometric shards dissect and reassemble the instruments into crystalline facets. Cool slate-greens, muted olives, grays, and hints of teal dominate, applied in layered, semi-abstract blocks that blur edges between object and space. Background dissolves into verdant atmosphere—soft gradients and faint distortions evoke an overgrown, dreamlike stage or memory haze.
No hyper-realistic detail; instead, bold contours and intersecting facets create rhythmic geometry—guitar body fractures into tilted polygons, amp face becomes a mosaic of dark grid lines, mic curves echo in subtle arcs amid the shards. The limited cool palette heightens stillness and introspection, turning everyday gear into silent, architectural presences.
Notice how angular overlaps pull the eye across intersecting planes—from guitar neck to mic head to amp grille—creating tension between recognizable forms and abstract disassembly, readiness and reverie.
A standalone work (with thematic echoes in the Force of Nature series), this piece channels Cubist deconstruction into rock iconography: instruments not mere tools but fragmented forces, waiting in fractured quiet for the spark of sound.
How does this geometric still life of guitar, mic, and amp stir your sense of latent energy, musical memory, or the poetry of objects caught between realism and abstraction?
