Evolutions
is a series of paintings that represents individual
human development and that of the civilization as a whole.
Anthropomorphic forms are the metaphor. Contemporary
advertisements, galactic projections and archeological
findings are married with oil paint on canvas, inventing a reality of
magic and humor that challenges the viewers' imagination and
perception. In combining these diverse images, the past is
revisited, the future anticipated and the present immortalized.
Outlaws, Kings and Queens,
Diplomats and Virgins,
they transcend gender, religion, race and political boundaries.
Simultaneously ancient, contemporary and futuristic, these
icons to humanity are each a sentient presence
designed to delight and jolt.
It is a series of cosmic
loops.
Hi-tech and mummies have run full circle.
Evolutions are images for all time.
Carol Anna Meese
