At the center, the familiar silhouette of the brick character is outlined by a precise black contour, like a simple symbol set against a surge of colors. John Beckley fills it with repeated tags, all derived from the same word, which change in size, style, and tone from one area to another. The splashes, drips, and colorful projections cover both the body and the background, blurring the boundary between the character and what surrounds it. The eye then moves from a highly legible drawing to an abstract, dense, and vibrant surface. The gaze gets lost in the layers of paint, between the superimposed letters and the fluorescent bursts that run through the figure from end to end.
