Artist Statement:
“EXPECT DELAYS”
URBAN HABITAT
Some background on these
paintings...
The gorillas, lions, rhinos,
narwhals, warthogs that
inhabit these paintings are
passing through the “urban
jungle”. They show up as very
unusual pedestrians on very
busy streets or perhaps they
are stranded on a bit of grass
or water in an otherwise
completely hardened, urban
situation. Sure, there are
animals that can thrive in
cities with humans – the
pigeons, the rats, the dogs
and the cats. And of course
there is the stray moose or
two that wanders down Main
Street. Most wild animals,
though, have crawled far away
from humans to find some peace
and refuge in remnants of
forests and swamps. It is
absurd to believe that these
minuscule islands of habitat
are adequate homes for wild
animals.
On these canvases I depict my
fantasies of animals appearing
in cities. Cities will be what
is left for them…so they had
just better adapt! ...and
there they are--calmly
crossing the downtown streets.
So I guess we had better
expect a few traffic jams and
a few delays! Ha!
Note:
The rhinos, elephants and
gorillas that frequent my
paintings can be easily
identified but I’m not sure
most...
