Work has begun for a major show this Fall. Trying new ideas to push Wildlife art to more surreal and narratives. Show will be both sculptures and paintings. Some life size sculptures. The piece above is about poaching. The sky is reddish from the rhinos already lost, a mother rhino sleeps and dreams of a better life for the little ones/ one at the top, the poachers on right side, the poached rhinos on left, ground is cracked showing problem and how the probable is growing, shape of africa hangs it's head down on tree limb, tree representing life itself. Some pieces will be narratives like this, each showing an aspect of animal's life and their plight. With species being loss at a faster and faster rate, I wanted to try and do sculptures and paintings that would bring the problem home more and get people talking and debating about it more. Will try and show you from an animal's perspective. It is a large undertaking in only a few months, but an exciting opportunity for a wonderful venue. Stay tuned...... and make plans to visit Nashville area end of oct/first of Nov. Reception will be first of Nov TBA.
