Paradise Lost
In this series of artwork there is an awareness of an almost lost world where humanity lives alongside nature in a state of deep connection. These paintings, which I wish to build into a series of about twelve works, and paint up on large canvases, so as to appear iconic, attempt to occupy, with their images of female faces blending with nature, a knife edge position between here and gone, a fresh innocence.
The paintings are contemplation on the enchantment of the natural world and mankind’s shifting place in it. The portraits attempt to embody the thin divide between nature and culture, and celebrate the marvelous beauty and fragility of our emergence from, and relationship to, the natural wilderness. The artwork is an elegy to a disappearing world, a lament for how mankind is destroying nature.
