A haunting and visceral composition rendered in richly layered oil paint, Michael Bauer's *Bad Harvest* pulses with an unsettling energy through its fractured, gestural forms and raw, expressive brushwork. The work conjures a sense of decay and disorder, with dense passages of color colliding and bleeding into one another across the canvas. Bauer's signature fusion of figuration and abstraction creates a disorienting psychological landscape that lingers long after viewing.
