“Bro, platitudes are lame!” — Prismacolor & Acrylic

A room, a moment, a dismissal — vibrant, offbeat, and unmistakably real. Edward Cushenberry conjures another cinematic fragment in this Polaroid-styled composition, where two women — mid-conversation or mid-eye-roll — share a scene lit with unapologetic color. The figure on the right, perched on a neon-orange armchair, holds up a camera like a mirror, while her companion — legs crossed, gaze amused — sits beside a white cat, surrounded by cookies and what seems to be a tossed instant photo.
