Age of static (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by carographic by Carolyn Mielke

120 x 100 x 4.5cm (unframed) / 129 x 109cm (actual image size)

£3,491.1

Age of static is a large contemporary mixed-media painting on canvas. The composition is divided into two contrasting visual zones: an intense colour field with a forceful figure in the upper part, and a reduced double face in black, white and grey below.

The work combines acrylic painting, portraiture and collage fragments. Newspaper elements, text traces and layered visual interruptions create a sense of media pressure and fragmented perception. The image feels suspended between movement and stillness, expression and overload.

The upper section is physical, loud and immediate. The lower faces appear quieter, almost static, but psychologically charged. This contrast gives the painting its central tension: a visual reflection on public images, information noise, identity and the difficulty of remaining still in a constant stream of signals.

Materials used:

Acrylic, varnish, newspaper
