In May I?, the chaotic layering of bright colors, bold strokes, and abstract forms pulls the viewer into a whirlwind of emotion and personality. The central figure, composed of disjointed facial elements and exaggerated features, conveys a sense of both vulnerability and confidence. The playful yet intense color palette, dominated by yellows, pinks, and blues, reflects Lock’s ability to merge abstraction with expressionism. Maybe, the painting questions how we present ourselves to the world and the masks we often wear, allowing the viewer to piece together an emotional narrative that is both personal and universal.
