Illustration Friday – Empty

 |  August 10, 2005


Dialogue, oil, 20 x 16 inches

Empty. Absent. Oftentimes conversations can be empty, especially when two differing points of views come together. This is what I see as the political discourse in this country. It doesn’t matter what the truth is, people don’t want to hear it.

    A poignant piece. Truthfully, I would never have pegged this painting as a confrontational political statement, but maybe I'm seeing things too narrowly. Nevertheless, I love the mood of this picture, and the icy colors that offer a clarity beyond words. Simply beautiful.

    ps: I've been a lurking fan of your amanobooks site for a long while now. I think I found your site on Philobiblon. Cheers.

    The political discourse in my country is it doesn't matter what the truth is, the Government doesn't want to hear it.
