“Wrong Side of the Bed”

Sold - Private Collection (California)

There are mornings that feel like warnings. In Wrong Side of the Bed, dream and danger bleed into one another — a surreal moment stretched across the quiet violence of waking. A woman slips from her sheets, reaching instinctively for time, unaware of the alligator waiting just beneath the bed. The red blanket ripples like a warning flare, but it’s already too late.

The painting is thick with metaphor: the fragility of routine, the lurking anxiety beneath the surface of domestic stillness, the weight of what we sleep through. The symmetry of the windows offers a false calm. But the real tension lives below.

This is a piece that plays with the subconscious, inviting viewers into a world that feels both familiar and off-kilter. For collectors who are drawn to works that blend psychological depth with visual subtlety, Wrong Side of the Bed offers layered meaning — and lasting intrigue.
