An original 9-foot triptych from Susan Washington's Subway Sonnet series, The World's Gone Mad, but Love is the Answer layers the visual language of New York-graffiti, fragments of text, pop-cultural imagery and memory-into a work about finding connection amid chaos. 108” x 48” inches

Oil, paint, paper, and acrylic on stretched canvas. This work consists of three - 36” x 48” stretched canvases, a triptych.

This work is part of the Subway Sonnet series, a body of work rooted in memory, rhythm, and the visual language of the city. Drawing from Susan Washington’s experience growing up in New York in the late 1980s, the surface builds through layers of marks, text, and fragments, echoing the accumulation of graffiti, posters, and lived history across urban spaces. Images, lyrics, and symbols intersect throughout the work, referencing postwar American art, neo-expressionism, and contemporary culture. Each piece carries its own internal language, often centered around themes of affirmation, energy, and personal narrative.

Ready to hang.
