Abstract-Expressionist Painting on Wood Panel

The item is a vibrant, abstract-expressionist painting, likely executed in acrylics or similar opaque paints, on what appears to be a wooden panel or a thin board, rather than a traditional stretched canvas as initially suggested by the context. The surface reveals prominent wood grain visible through areas where the paint is thinner or intentionally left unpainted, particularly in the brownish-gold background. The dominant colors include various shades of yellow, gold, brown, black, teal, pink, red, and orange, applied with dynamic brushstrokes. The composition is highly energetic, featuring swirling lines, jagged forms, and layered colors that create a sense of movement and depth. There are discernible eye-like shapes, two of which are prominent, with red pupils, suggesting a figurative or creature-like subject, possibly multiple intertwined figures. The overall style is reminiscent of psychedelic art or a form of modern fauvism, with bold, non-representational use of color. The craftsmanship appears to be proficient in its loose and expressive application. There are no obvious visible condition issues such as cracks, chips, or significant paint loss from what can be seen. Given the style, it likely dates from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. The piece is unframed in the visible portion, showing clean edges of the rectangular support. The 'satire' context suggests the imagery, despite its abstract nature, might carry underlying symbolic or critical meaning.
