“Burning Greed” 16x20 Acrylic 2018 By SonYe

This bold, expressionist piece delivers a visceral critique of corporate avarice and unchecked capitalism. A monstrous, red-skulled figure—dressed in a business suit and blood-red tie—stands engulfed in infernal flames, with both middle fingers defiantly raised. The grotesque grin and glowing yellow teeth suggest a predatory hunger beneath the polished facade. Written boldly in red at the base is “WALL STREET”, smeared like graffiti—raw and unfiltered.

The green hands symbolize corrupted wealth, while the fiery backdrop represents societal destruction fueled by financial greed. The rough, almost childlike brushstrokes and exaggerated forms evoke raw emotion and rebellion—reminiscent of Jean-Michel Basquiat or Ralph Steadman.
