Madness, Joey Richardson 2020. Sold.
Madness, a phygital painting, fuses cubist and street art with futuristic hues.

We toil to acquire things we don't need to impress people we don't like, while our true spiritual potential lies in art, music, and literature. This artwork reminds us of what we've become, despite our untapped potential.
