A striking work by Chris Succo, *The Stoics* employs oil and lacquer on canvas to create a composition that balances raw gestural energy with a cool, reflective surface quality. The combination of traditional oil paint and industrial lacquer speaks to Succo's signature merging of street art sensibilities with fine art practice. Presented in the artist's own frame, the work exists as a complete, considered object, extending the artwork beyond the canvas itself.
