“Veins of Decay” Collection

​

Mixed Media on Canvas

By Taylor Kirch

2023

 

This collection tries to draw viewers into a world where decay is both inevitable and meticulously hidden. Each piece serves as a meditation on the silent deterioration beneath gilded facades—a visceral representation of power’s hidden costs and the fragility of what we call progress.

 

Through intricate textures and layered abstraction, the works evoke fractured landscapes and eroded structures, where veins of darkness ripple beneath glimmers of fleeting light. Black fissures stretch across the canvas like fractured arteries, their paths both deliberate and chaotic, speaking to the unstoppable forces of greed, time, and entropy. In contrast, reflective gleams—like flashes of polished artifice—suggest a world obsessed with appearances, masking the decay beneath.
