The Thought / The Action / The Reason is a bold three-panel statement piece by New Zealand upcycle artist Lisa Watkins. This upcycled abstract triptych wall art transforms discarded canvas, acrylic offcuts, nitrocellulose, enamel, and resin into a powerful meditation on movement, rhythm, and connection.
Each of the three panels — The Thought, The Action, and The Reason — carries its own energy, from stripped-back shapes to striking colour fields. Together, they form a conversation about intention, momentum, and meaning. With a dynamic mix of red, black, and white, the work creates impact whether displayed in a contemporary home, creative studio, or corporate space.
Measuring 153 cm x 46 cm per panel, the triptych can be hung as a series for maximum effect. The materials are layered and sealed for durability, reflecting both artistry and sustainability.
This work embodies Lisa Watkins’ signature style — transforming repurposed scraps into urban abstractions that carry both grit and shine. More than decoration, this series is a visual rhythm: three moods, three jolts of energy, stronger together as one.
