(Mixed media on hand-made distressed wood panel) "Heist" is gritty and remorseless, confronting the harsh realities of life head-on. From the character's chiseled face with etched lines and intense eyes, every element tells a tale of hardship. The depiction is scarred but honest, and it seems as if the man's face is fading away, succumbing to age and hardship. Contemporary artist Kris Gebhardt, in his signature style, employs a combination of mostly dirty white paint and charcoal to create a sketch-like effect with heavy pencil defining lines. Weathered looking, it's as if he's constantly scribbling and erasing to capture the raw essence of the subject. The painting is executed on a worn-out surface, recycled crate wood, which serves as a perfect gritty backdrop. The distressed roughness of the large wood panel enhances the unfiltered narrative, emphasizing the character's hard-fought existence and the rawness of life's unforgiving trials. The character wears a black stocking cap, reminiscent of a bank robber, further hinting at a possible stint having done "hard time" in the big house. The weathered and parched lips, caught between neither frowning nor smiling, reveal the complex emotions when contemplating the risks and rewards of one last high-stakes score. The aged man is seemingly in a tug-of-war between doing bad for good. With a consistently gritty and unapologetic style, Gebhardt's figure paintings grab viewers by the collar and force them to confront the harsh realities of life. His callous and thought-provoking style leaves an indelible mark on the psyche, challenging perceptions and sparking contemplation.
