In the year 2000 at a time which coincided with my fiftieth birthday I received permission from the French Ministry of Culture to visit the Lascaux caves and view some of the oldest and the most celebrated Paleolithic paintings in the world. I had been informed that a limited number of official visits were granted each year and that this included scholars and artists. A visit to the caves represented an important personal quest to go back in time to the beginning of painting.
My work had been influenced by ancient art, myth and cultural symbols prior to the visit but afterward the influence was far more pronounced and found it’s way into many recent and current paintings including , and .
The painting from which the print is reproduced is rich in visual information along with symbols and pictographs buried beneath layers of translucent paint that lend a sense of texture and unity. Besides being decorative and informational, I tried to make a painting with a visual dynamic that would be modern, historic and mythic.
This print is available in an edition size of 25.
