Woo: A Painting That Pulls You In and Won’t Let Go

Some paintings speak.
Woo sings—and it lures.
This 48x60 inch piece is rich, layered, and unapologetically seductive. It drips with thick, gooey layers of red epoxy resin, enveloping every stroke of acrylic in a glassy, glowing coat. But this isn't a clean or polite red. It's bold. It's deep, moody, and dangerous—a red that feels like it has a memory. The top of the canvas fades into near-black, creating a kind of visual gravity that pulls your eye downward, like you're falling slowly into something molten, mysterious, and alive.
My signature black outlines cut across the painting like ink on comic book paper—defining the motion of each pour, highlighting each moment of chaos with intention.
It feels hand-drawn and human. You’re not just looking at a painting; you’re watching someone wrestle a color into submission.
The name Woo came fast—almost instinctively—as I stood back from the final layer.
It wasn’t just about the siren-like draw of the ruby reds, or the way the whole piece seems to glow from within like a stone lit by firelight. It was the feeling: that subtle, low hum of attraction. That pull you can’t quite explain. Like something whispering your name across a room and smiling without saying a word. Woo doesn’t shout. It seduces.
People don’t walk by Woo—they stop. They lean in. They stare.
And the longer they look, the more they find. That’s the trick of this one: every layer invites a little deeper dive, and just when you think you’ve figured it out, the light shifts and it gives you something new.
