Invitation to an opening June 13, 2012 in The Hague

Fossilized toy car, mixed media


You are invited to an opening on June 13th at Ernst and Young.  The work I am showing is from a series called "Fossils of the Anthropocene."  Here's the idea behind the artwork: 

Geologic eras are marked by mass extinctions.  Some geologists say we are living in a new geologic era, the age of man.  These paintings/sculptures are meant to evoke the fossils that might be found in 100+ million years.  The paintings are mixed media made from linen, pigment, marble dust, cast objects, varnish, and resin. 

I have been called away to work in Washington DC, so I will not be at the opening but Tamara will be there to represent me.  There will also be exciting work from a Hungarian-born artist named Zsolt Mathe.  I hope that you can come, as I have put a lot of work into the series over the last half year, and would love to share it with you.  For those of you who cannot come, I will eventually put together a website and promise to let you know by the work of the week post when it is done. 

Here are the details for the opening:
