Douglas Safranek
Touch of Green, surrealist egg tempera on panel still life painting

2022

About the Item

Douglas Safranek's Touch of Green calls back to 17th century Dutch still lifes. Filled with humor and complexity, Safranek's rather constrained and controlled stroke imbues his paintings with an uncanny quality. The shells, crab, and Preying Mantis appear primordial and arcane, with their protruding points and exoskeletons. Craggy peaks from the mantis, crab, and shells form a treacherous landscape, almost camouflaging the interloper.
