‘Driven by raw emotion’

Painting by New Hampshire artist Brian Wagoner, whose artist name is Bunkt, in his show “Give and Take: Works by Bunkt,’’ at 3S Artspace, Portsmouth, N.H., through Nov. 30.

The gallery says:

“Bunkt’s art is driven by raw emotion–– an interplay of anxiety, excitement, and anger emerging from within chaos. His studio floor is strewn with supplies and unconventional materials, reflecting a process that is ever-changing and experimental. Each painting evolves through countless transformations—glued, stapled, burnt, cut, and rearranged—revealing a story of hardship and resilience.’’

He’s a self-taught and began his public artistic career at age 45.
