“change is calling.”
A new installation highlighting fossil fuels, its impacts, and the BP disaster.
In honor of wildlife, the environment and the myriad of consequences of the Gulf disaster not recognized yet, PAHS is thrilled to dedicate our latest Animal Art Gallery installation to artist Michelle Waters.
From Michelle:
“My art fuses my love for animals, concern about the welfare of the planet and twisted sense of humor. I call my work ‘environmental surrealism’. “Influences include kitschy portrayals of animals from mass-marketed popular culture, the nightmarish imagery of Hieronymus Bosch, Beatrix Potter, Maurice Sendak, the writings of Edward Abbey, and my work as a wildlife rehabilitator. “My environmentally-themed paintings feature naughty animals having fun turning our superiority on its head by demolishing industrial objects. Grizzly bears with jackhammers “restoring” a freeway, a mountain lion with an acetylene torch decommissioning a bulldozer, arctic wildlife laying waste to a Hummer dealership and animals tearing down billboards for housing developments are some of the characters who populate my paintings.”
“change is calling.” can be seen now through September 10, 2010.
