YouTubers (The Tea) 2026 – 21 x 30cm, oil pastel, soft pastel, pencil on paper
The Tea (YouTubers): Two figures facing each other across what looks like a circular table or platform. More agitated than Pod Save America, marks are denser, more anxious, and frenetic. The dark mass between them, the yellow accent, the red pooling, this conversation has weight, has pressure. The circular format of the table echoes the circularity: conversation going in loops, returning to the same depressing topics, the wheel of bad news cycling endlessly.
These aren’t just talking heads, they’re bodies in space, energy being expended, attention being sustained over hours. The energy release of the drawing comprises whirling loops of pencil and oil pastel with a focus on recording psychic weight, the mental effort of processing and articulating political catastrophe in real time.
