Rescue Us From Level Headedness presents a charged pictorial field in which Mark Joshua Epstein's signature interplay of raw gesture and structural tension reaches a particular intensity. Executed in acrylic on a hand-fabricated resin and fiberglass panel, the work carries a notable physical presence, its five-centimeter depth pushing the piece off the wall and into the space of the viewer, complicating the conventional boundary between painting and object. Epstein's choice to build his own support is not incidental. The panel becomes part of the work's meaning, a deliberate act of grounding an expressive, almost unruly painted surface within a rigorously constructed material foundation. The title itself signals the artist's sustained interest in productive contradiction. "Level headedness," typically coded as virtue, is here something to be escaped, even rescued from, suggesting that the painting operates as a site where emotional and psychic excess is not only permitted but necessary. Epstein works within a lineage of painters who have treated figuration and abstraction as permeable rather than opposing categories, and this work reflects that sensibility with confidence. Brushwork ranges from dense impastoed passages to thinly dragged marks, creating a surface that rewards close looking while maintaining its overall compositional authority. Signed by the artist and offered through Asya Geisberg Gallery, this 2022 work represents Epstein at a mature and assured moment in his practice. For collectors drawn to painting that carries genuine conceptual weight without sacrificing visceral appeal, Rescue Us From Level Headedness is a compelling and considered acquisition.
