This original painting by Yost presents the Joker in the style of a playing card—centered, bold, and slightly off-kilter. The deep black backdrop makes the vivid reds, greens, and yellows feel even more volatile, like something held under pressure. He’s caught mid-scene: cigarette in hand, eyes unreadable, grin just short of stable. In the corner, a faint skull echoes his face—adding weight to the moment, and hinting at what’s coming undone.
The vertical “JOKER” along the side doesn’t feel like a title—it feels stamped, like a mark that’s hard to erase. Familiar elements are present, but nothing about this image feels safe. It balances on the edge between icon and unraveling.
A one-of-a-kind piece for collectors who are drawn to strong form, psychological tension, and cultural edge.
