Tackled During Concert in Tampa

A fleeting moment of chaos captured from the digital ether, this work by Leo Gabin layers lacquer, acrylic, spray paint, and silkscreen on canvas to transform a found internet image into a charged cultural artifact. The collision of bodies mid-concert is rendered with the distorted, pixelated energy of viral footage, blurring the line between spectacle and documentation. Gabin's signature appropriation of online imagery speaks to themes of voyeurism, collective experience, and the way social media flattens extraordinary moments into consumable content.
