A bold and gestural arrangement of chrysanthemums rendered in Billy Childish's characteristically raw and expressive style, with thick, confident brushstrokes of oil paint building the blooms against a roughly worked linen ground. The inclusion of charcoal lends a scratchy, immediate quality to the linework, reinforcing Childish's rejection of polished technique in favor of vital, unmediated mark-making. The composition radiates an energetic tension between the domesticity of the floral subject and the untamed, almost primitive handling of the medium.
