The sun only shines in one direction

Like a high-voltage dreamscape, The Sun Only Shines in One Direction is a maximalist feast of colour, shape, and controlled chaos. It’s an ode to light and movement, a disorienting yet strangely logical universe where perspectives warp and logic bends.
The title suggests inevitability—a cosmic certainty that things move forward, whether we like it or not. Gromm channels this idea into his composition, where every mark, texture, and hue seems to surge toward something just beyond reach. This is a work that captures the paradox of the sun’s constancy and our own impermanence.
In typical Gromm fashion, the painting is both playful and profound. Its colors radiate with energy, but its fragmented forms suggest disruption—a reminder that, while light may always shine, it does not always illuminate equally.
