About This Work

Title: Justified (Disjointed Reality Series) Medium: Mixed Media Collage on Canvas Dimensions: 36” H × 36” W × ¾” D Artist: Kris Haas Description: Justified is one of the most dynamic and architecturally charged works in my Disjointed Reality series—an intricate construction of rhythm, disruption, and unexpected harmony. Built through layers of collage, paint, and intuitive mark-making, the piece forms a complex grid that feels both structural and fiercely alive. The composition moves vertically and horizontally like an abstracted skyline, yet remains deeply human in its gestures. Bold flashes of orange ignite the restrained palette of greys, whites, blacks, ochres, and soft blues, creating focal points that pull the eye through the layered surface. Every fragment—torn paper edge, painted strip, graphite line—acts like a sentence in an unfinished story, converging into a united visual language. Justified explores the moment when chaos finally organizes itself into meaning. It’s a work that feels decisive yet fluid, bold yet introspective, offering collectors and designers a richly textured statement piece that transforms any modern interior. Artist Note: Disjointed Reality is an exploration of memory, architecture, and the ways we reconstruct our inner landscapes. My process involves layering, removing, rebuilding, and allowing the piece to reveal its own internal order. These works are about embracing fragmentation as a place of clarity rather than confusion.
