Straw Dogs

Christy Hopkins

“Straw Dogs” is a vibrant explosion of color and movement, where fragmented forms and gestural strokes create a sense of both disorder and cohesion. The composition brims with layered textures and dynamic brushwork, evoking a world in flux—one where recognizable shapes emerge and dissolve within a tangle of lines and hues.

Hints of organic and figurative elements seem to flicker in and out of focus, suggesting fleeting identities or forces in transition. The interplay of bold yellows, blues, and fiery oranges adds to
the energy, while darker strokes cut through the composition, grounding the chaos with moments of tension and contrast.
