"Fracas" by Nate Lonnen 16"x20" oil pastel on canvas

​Fracas means: “a noisy disturbance or quarrel”. This is something that I find is always the case when I consider the truths behind good and evil. When I created “Fracas” I envisioned the battle of the choice between right and wrong. The piece is very abstract because sometimes the line between what’s right and wrong can be a bit blurry too.  I have always felt this sort of tug of war between these opposite ideas. And many times I feel that these truths can sometimes be one in the same. What seems right for one person, given the time and situation could be considered wrong to another. How do we distinguish our own moral code and what makes us sway towards one choice or the other?
As with some of the other pieces I created for the opposing forces collection you can see that these two opposites need one another. You cannot have light without darkness or darkness without light. They cannot find cohesiveness until they are allowed to bind together, forming something new and brilliant. This is how I feel about individuality no one person is the same and many times it is this battle that so oft defines us. So I believe one should always take heart, for every choice is a small battle to that final victory of self worth.

The Opposing Forces series is centered around exploring the contrary forces of light/dark, and good/evil. It is in essence the struggle between opposites; the constant struggle with an ever-changing balance that either creates harmony or invites chaos. It is the idea that one cannot obtain true peace until they have overcome their inner turmoil and find a center. With every piece I aim to manifest the pivotal roles that these interconnected forces play in our natures.  While also, presenting the struggle between the two, resulting in the personification of this battle in us all. I believe the choices we make define our existence and put us on different paths of self-realization.
