You Don’t Own Me, oil painting by René Stanger, expressive portrait with distorted facial features, layered brushstrokes and dripping paint, exploring control, identity and resistance.

You don't own me

2025

Oil on primed cardboard

70 × 100 cm

The image resists stability through overlapping marks and conflicting color structures. 

Figuration is asserted and simultaneously undone. 

The painting operates as a site of tension - between control, gesture, and the refusal of clarity.
