About this artwork
This work forms part of a four-piece series exploring the fragmented psychological landscape of PTSD. Structured as a divided composition, it presents four distinct yet interconnected visual fields, each representing different emotional registers—memory, intrusion, containment, and reaction. The upper section conveys heightened agitation through overlapping figures and urgent mark-making, evoking the instability of recalled experience. At its center,…
a totemic, mask-like face anchors the composition, embodying the persistent presence of trauma.
Below, two contrasting portraits reflect internalised responses: one densely layered and introspective, the other stark and confrontational, suggesting an oscillation between suppression and outward expression. The vivid palette—dominated by yellows, reds, and blues—amplifies psychological intensity rather than harmony.
Balancing raw immediacy with compositional structure, the artist captures the tension between control and disintegration.

« Our world is tearing itself apart environmentally, socially, and economically. It is my job to highlight the faults as I see them. I disguise dark themes with color and rhythmical lines. »
Marc Rayner is an Australian artist based in Sweden who has exhibited his works nationally, as well as in Sweden, Monaco, France, Qatar, Italy, India, South Korea, Denmark, and Japan. The key to his artworks is the creation of 'quasi-landscapes' rich in text and design, or flat and almost devoid of information. This 'distorted zone' is a place where Rayner's tormented, disenfranchised, and often unfortunate characters exist. He is drawn to outsider artistic styles and naive art in broader terms.
