{"product_id":"good-trouble","title":"GOOD TROUBLE","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\"Good Trouble\" by Stephen Lucas is a vibrant 18x24-inch abstract acrylic painting that exemplifies the artist's signature \"non-representational\" style. While the work is entirely abstract, it is structured with a sophisticated, interlocking geometry that suggests a sense of internal architecture and movement.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe painting features a dense arrangement of organic and geometric shapes, held together by bold, black curvilinear outlines. This \"stained glass\" effect is a hallmark of Lucas’s technique, which he often begins with the blind contour drawing method of drawing without looking at the surface to bypass conscious thought and access the subconscious.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe work uses a primary base of cerulean and cobalt blues, contrasted with earthy ochres, terracotta oranges, and muted sage greens. Pockets of white and pale yellow provide \"breathing room\" amidst the complex layers.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWithin the larger forms, Lucas employs subtle textures, including stippling (small dots) and fine cross-hatching, which add a sense of physical depth to the flat acrylic surface.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDespite the heavy black lines, there is a rhythmic energy. The shapes seem to \"tumble\" or shift across the canvas, reflecting the artist’s goal of capturing the \"essence of life\" rather than a literal object.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe title is a clear nod to the famous phrase by American civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis, who urged people to \"get in good trouble, necessary trouble\" to bring about change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: Original artworks are insured and shipped to your door after full payment is received. 30-day return policy.
