Description
*This painting will be displayed at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg as a part of the "Skyway 20/21" in May 2021*
"In Big Pharma We 'Trust'" is a 21 foot long acrylic-painted landscape that is comprised of 7 conjoined canvas panels. This painting was the backbone of my BFA thesis and took me eight months to complete. It originated from my personal experiences in healthcare - both the positive and negative aspects of medicine. Landscapes like this one are often used as metaphors in my work to explore the horrors of the pharmaceutical industry, invasion of technology, disregard for the environment, and over-consumption. The superficial whimsy allows for such issues to be addressed with a subtler tone – giving a fantastical glimpse at what our world might become.
For serious purchase inquiries, please contact me - I would love to talk with you and discuss the price and installation for this large, unique piece!
With a background in Neuroscience, the hidden physiology of the body continues to inspire my work. My paintings merge science with art by re-presenting anatomy through stylized forms and hyper-saturated colors. These larger-than-life paintings expose the inner systems and confront viewers with what it means to be a living body within the context of our current health care system.
I maintain laboratory-like precision through a graphic, hard-edge style. The technical aspects and the process of creating these forms without the aid of tape or stencils are just as important as the content.
