The War of the Hemispheres #2 (Homage to Hui-Ming Wang) / 2022 / Oil on canvas / 20” x 30”
This painting, begun in the late fall of 2021 on the eve of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, is simultaneously a still life, self-portrait, landscape, figurative, and a political allegory. Two shells figure prominently: one is a vortex form, a spiral, the other references WWII munitions (used in B-17s).
