Hellbent's piece is collaged tape with spray paint, latex paint, and liquid glass on a 14 inch by 14 inch wood panel canvas. 

Demo 117 is layered under resin enhancing the luminescence of Hellbent's colors and textures. Hellbents’ pattern play has gotten sophisticated too; trompe l’oeil evokes printed wallpaper even when achieved with aerosol. As he rocks through new printed motifs and razor sharp shapes he likes to alternately calm and jolt, forcing the painting to pop for a fraction of a second, the snapping life of an impulse. With this new sharpened geometry and these comforting patterns and these challenging color choices the pieces rise above the canvas as they lay upon, slam against, and step on top of one another.
