Libby Ramage

Albatross, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
A seventh-grade algebra homework, a book page, acrylic paint, and charcoal constitute artist Libby Ramage's whimsical mixed-media piece. She affixes pages of her youngest son's homework over this surrealist painting. She paints a boy holding the wings of a giant albatross and facing it by the beak. Libby paints an uncanny fantasy of these two with much charm and wit.
