Mercy, Things are Gonna Slide
2016
A turbulent domestic interior rendered in expressive, gestural brushwork captures a moment of emotional intensity, with figures and objects caught in a sense of unraveling chaos. Dupuy-Spencer's raw, visceral painting style draws on a tradition of confessional realism, imbuing the scene with psychological weight and working-class specificity. The title's allusion to Leonard Cohen underscores the painting's themes of surrender, entropy, and the fragile beauty found in moments of collapse.
