"Remain" by Stuart Semple is a striking mixed-media work on canvas that layers acrylic paint, charcoal, Dr. Martens ink, and bleach to create a raw and emotionally charged surface. The interplay of these contrasting materials — some building up and others actively destroying — speaks to themes of persistence, tension, and the struggle to hold on. The result is a visceral composition where construction and erosion exist in constant, unresolved dialogue.
