Mark Flood

The General

2004

A bold and commanding work by Mark Flood, *The General* employs acrylic on canvas to explore themes of power, authority, and iconography through Flood's characteristically irreverent visual language. The painting merges his signature blend of appropriated imagery and gestural mark-making, creating a tension between reverence and subversion. True to Flood's practice, the work challenges conventional hierarchies while maintaining an undeniable graphic intensity.
