Hopeless Romantics by John Gerstner – Acrylic on canvas, 24×30 framed

Hopeless Romantics weaves a narrative of abstract emotions. The abstract figures, rendered in heavy texture, maintain an enigmatic quality, allowing viewers to project their own experiences onto the canvas. The swirling brown and light orange colors create an emotional backdrop, emphasizing the complexity of romantic feelings. The leaning skyscrapers between their legs serves as a metaphor for the unpredictability and instability of love. The turbulent seascape below them adds a visceral dimension to the composition, reinforcing the ebb and flow of emotions within all romantic journeys.
