“Clutch”

Dimensions: 40” x 30”

Medium: Oil on wood panel

Artist: Greg Busch

A single, monolithic egg sits grounded in a barren, rust-colored plain—its companion fractured, its contents vanished. In Clutch, Greg Busch continues his surreal exploration of origin and aftermath. The forms are familiar, but their scale, silence, and lighting feel otherworldly. The absence becomes the subject.

There’s no creature in sight, only the suggestion of emergence. Has life just begun—or already fled? The red horizon offers no answer, only tension.

Like much of Busch’s surreal work, Clutch is a meditation on transformation. Birth, vulnerability, decay—they all coexist here, encapsulated in an unassuming shape under a blood-warm sky.

This is not just an egg. It’s what comes after—and what never arrives.
