In ENOUGH, Peter Maier presents a portrait that feels as much like a mirror as it does a confrontation. Rendered in meticulous layers of automotive paint, the figure—clad in a flag, arms defiantly crossed—embodies both patriotism and protest. His stance is unyielding. His gaze, veiled by crimson-tinted glasses, challenges interpretation.
Maier’s work is not about slogans or sides. It’s about presence. Precision. Tension. ENOUGH is a study in contrasts—between realism and symbolism, reverence and rebellion. It prompts a question more than it offers an answer: when does strength become resistance, and resistance become a statement?
With surface perfection and emotional weight, Maier captures not just a figure—but a feeling many recognize, yet struggle to articulate.
