Story / Additional InfoThis collage was inspired by a newspaper article and photo of immigrants seeking refuge from poverty or drought. The artist highlights the plight of the children, with the focus in this painting on the child in its father’s arms. The fabric of the clothing worn by the immigrants is bright and colorful in contrast to their plight. Many rich textures can be seen on closeup view. Romare Bearden is a huge influence on the artist, both in technique and subject. This work is from a new series exploring various aspects of global warming.
