the field and the city 24 Painting

"The field and the city" series represents the tension between humans and nature to conquest the same space, there are two creators, each one has their own way to fill the surface. The spontaneous curved lines of the nature is opposed against the logical and straight lines of the "civilization”. The straight line is the imprint of the human being, of its culture of conquest and possession, it is installed in the middle of the virgin nature, it traces wire fences, routes, limits, borders, dividing walls, streets, buildings ... it arranges space. As a revenge, nature sows its seeds between bricks, erases the paths with dry leaves and dust, tangles climbers blurring neglected buildings, breaks apart floors with its roots, ... disassembling straight lines, curves winning over. Nature and human beings struggle to dominate trying to win over, control, tame each other. Why should any of them win? All proceeds from the sale of this work will be donated to the National Council for Behavioral Health as part of The Other Art Fair Online Studios Charity Collection.
