A brilliant bouquet erupts from a vivid blue vase, while a tiny orange fish swims inside the vessel below, adding an unexpected and playful twist to the familiar subject. Carreon's collision of flowers, bold color and graffiti-inflected mark-making gives the composition an unmistakably contemporary energy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Against a nearly black ground, star-shaped blossoms flare in brilliant yellows, reds, oranges and pinks, their green centers punctuating the dense bouquet. Carreon builds the flowers through broad strokes, sprayed passages, scribbled outlines and drips rather than careful modeling. The luminous blue vase anchors the composition, while fallen petals across the tabletop and faint scrawled lettering in the background echo the layered surfaces of graffiti and street art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in California, Carreon emerged from skateboarding and graffiti culture before developing a studio practice that combines the spontaneity of street art with personal and spiritual themes. Nature recurs throughout his work, particularly in his floral and bird imagery, which he transforms through energetic gesture and vibrant color. In \u003cem\u003eFlowers with Fish\u003c\/em\u003e, Carreon gives the centuries-old still-life tradition a lively urban character, balancing the beauty of the flowers with the surprising fish swimming below. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 30\" high x 24\" wide (76.20 x 60.96 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 31 1\/2\" high x 25 1\/2\" wide x 2\" deep (80.01 x 64.77 x 5.08 cm)","brand":"M.S.
