Bad Painting 442: Protesters against Protesters

Bad Painting 442: Protesters against Protesters presents two opposing groups confronting each other in the street. The scene captures a moment where collective anger turns inward and conflict multiplies rather than resolves. Painted in a deliberately crude and unstable manner, the work emphasises confusion, noise, and the collapse of clear positions. As in the wider Bad Painting series, the image functions less as commentary than as a record of contemporary behaviour, where public speech, protest, and counter-protest mirror and amplify one another.
