Steve DiBenedetto's *Colony* is a feverish and densely layered oil on canvas that showcases his signature obsessive mark-making and swirling, tangled compositions. The work pulses with an almost hallucinatory energy, weaving together chaotic organic forms that suggest both natural systems and psychological unrest. DiBenedetto's rich, complex palette and writhing brushwork create a sense of teeming, interconnected life on the verge of collapse or transformation.
