A mythic allegory of loss and survival: a whale consumes a skeleton, a chest of secrets, and the artist’s own insignia, while new life struggles upward through the wreckage.
 Gone Now The Looter asks what remains when everything has been taken.
Gone Now The Looter presents a surreal, symbolic meditation on the forces that strip us bare — grief, addiction, betrayal, and time itself. The whale, with its all-seeing eye, becomes both looter and witness, swallowing a skeleton and a locked chest that represent the irretrievable parts of the self: bodies, memories, and secrets consumed by the depths.
The painted XVII links this mythic image to Logan Alexander’s personal mythology, marking the painting as both autobiography and universal allegory. Yet amid destruction, a fragile sprout winds upward — a defiance against erasure, a symbol of rebirth in the face of what has been stolen.
Through its raw brushwork, bold symbolism, and unsettling narrative density, Gone Now The Looter confronts the viewer with a question: when the looter is gone and the wreckage remains, what will grow from what’s left behind?
