The Barren Sea
Oil on Panel
33" X 29"
A painting dear to my heart. This was the first painting I made focused on environmental issues. Indebted to the post-war existential paintings of Bernard Buffet, it was a first foray into the difficult world of tendentious contemporary subjects. I was waking up to the plight of humanity in an ever more polluted and warming environment, and felt called to express this anxiety and concern in my work.
