Dual Decay– Abstract Skull Mixed Media Painting on Canvas

“Duality of Decay” is a Dust & Beau original built from stitched chaos and layered reconstruction. The piece began as a splattered section from a large roll of raw canvas, which was then cut apart and hand-stitched back together, leaving a deliberate raw seam that acts as the spine of the composition. Two skulls emerge from opposing worlds: one rendered in cold, muted blues, the other erupting in neon pink drips and distressed texture. Heat-pressed fabric fragments, stitched layers, and scraped pigment create a sense of erosion, rebirth, and tension — a portrait of life and entropy held together by one imperfect line.

PROCESS
Created using acrylic, spray paint, scraped pigment, stitched canvas seams, and heat-pressed fabric layers. Each section of the original was cut from a pre-painted roll, then rejoined by hand to form the central exposed seam. Prints are professionally scanned and reproduced as archival-quality giclées on canvas or fine-art paper.
