About This Work

Title: Shameless (Disjointed Reality Series) Medium: Mixed Media Collage on Canvas Dimensions: 48” H × 30” W × ¾” D Series: Disjointed Reality Artist: Kris Haas Description: Shameless stands as one of the most architecturally dynamic works in my Disjointed Reality series—a piece that embraces fragmentation as a form of honesty and clarity. This large-scale collage is built through layered bands of paint, paper, and mark-making, creating a vertical and horizontal rhythm reminiscent of shifting city grids, erased timelines, and structures that never fully settle into place. The palette—anchored in black, white, charcoal, and muted neutrals with flashes of ochre and slate—gives the work a modern, design-forward sophistication. Its linear composition creates both tension and order, making it a powerful focal point for contemporary interiors. The title Shameless reflects the rawness of being fully seen. Nothing here hides: torn edges, exposed textures, abrupt transitions, and intuitive gestures remain visibly, deliberately unresolved. This piece speaks to the courage of being unedited—embracing the disjointed, the imperfect, and the deeply human. At nearly four feet tall, Shameless commands space with quiet authority. It offers collectors an immersive visual experience while delivering the clean geometry and tonal restraint that designers love in large modern works. Artist Statement for Context: The Disjointed Reality series explores how memory and experience assemble themselves in fragments. I cut, layer, remove, and rebuild—mirroring the process of piecing a life together from what remains. My goal is to allow each work to hold both vulnerability and strength, honoring the beauty found in contradiction.
