GRADUAL DESTRUCTION Abstract Oil Paintings
Climate Change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Melting Arctic ice has caused uncontrollable Climate Change. Research shows that changes in climate, especially earlier snowmelt due to warming of spring and summer, have led to hot and dry conditions that boost the fire activity in some areas. Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a crucial moment. Climate Change is NOT a distant threat, it is happening now! This abstract expressionist painting series depicts the catastrophic impact on our planet that our leaders are not taking seriously.
My Gradual Destruction series are sometimes described as a "window into another world." The artwork depicts large atmospheric conditions at the center of the painting, with a vibrant symbol placed off center. The gradual change of color is an attempt to force the viewer to concentrate upon the symbolic object that serves as the "Beacon of Hope." The blue hues represent the ecosystem that is destroyed, while the red, orange and yellow hues represent a viewing portal into a better world.
