In A Break in Reality, Chase Lock delves deep into the psychological and emotional undercurrents of the human condition. The face, deconstructed into disjointed, colorful shapes, almost feels as if it was tearing apart at the seams, a visual metaphor for the fragmentation of identity and perception. The stark juxtaposition between the vibrant reds and yellows of the figure and the dark, shadowy background gives the painting an unsettling tension, pulling the viewer into a world where reality itself seems to waver. A Break in Reality stands as a haunting reminder of how delicate our hold on to reality can be, making us question what is real and what is imagined.
