Charles Whitman

A haunting and visceral portrait rendered in oil and collage on canvas laid on panel, Jay Stuckey's *Charles Whitman* confronts the viewer with the unsettling legacy of one of America's first mass shooters. Stuckey layers fragmented imagery and tactile materials to construct a complex psychological study, blurring the line between document and memory. The work invites a difficult reckoning with violence, notoriety, and the human capacity for both destruction and obsession.
