Large‚ surrealistic landscape. Gigantic stone statues‚ based on Russian nesting dolls (Matryoshka)‚ dominate a desert landscape. The top half of one statue is rising up in the sky. Several figures behold the scene from the ground‚ one recording the event on an ipad. This work continues my interest in the intersection of the everyday and the uncanny. To me‚ the painting conveys majesty and mystery.
