Curator’s Comments:
The title A Tree Grows Near Fukushima interjects a melancholy note into an otherwise exuberant and abstract landscape. The chunky scrapings of various colors at the top of the composition seem to negate the more representational landscape underneath, and still visible below. The distortions could represent a veil descending over the trees, or the altered growth of transmuted living forms. I find it interesting that the hues balance lower chroma greens and tertiary browns with more intense blue. It makes one contemplate the natural order of nature, or the presence of the hyper real or chemical in our contemporary landscape. But it also occurs to me this may be too cynical a reading of the painting, as the other works you’ve posted don’t appear to contain any undercurrent of anxiety nor angst. There is some mystery in works such as Cave dweller Rejoiced and Spirited, but the majority of paintings present a calm and even jovial depiction of animals and trees surrounded us.
From NY to the U.K., the most comprehensive and respected source for income & exhibition opportunities.
