About the Item

The artist describes this work as follows: “The impact of species loss is a deep concern that informs the ideas behind my artwork. I paint carefully rendered miniature portraits of endangered animals into larger compositions to raise questions about Earth’s biodiversity crisis and the place of wildlife within increasingly unstable habitats. This lithograph includes an image of a female Great Basin silverspot butterfly whose populations are in decline mainly due to habitat loss. Swirling and exploding shapes, bright colors, and unlikely spatial relationships illustrate how our progressively chaotic environment displaces fauna and the systems that support it.”

Angel (Little Egypt) State III
By Barbara Takenaga
Located in Lyons, CO
Color lithograph with gold metallic powder, Edition 15. Barbara Takenaga writes: “About the prints, they’re part of a series of recent Angel paintings — which were influenced by seeing a small painting fragment of angel’s wings by Fra Angelico. I liked the way the feather pattern is similar to the Asian motif of fish scales or waves of water. There is a reference to the natural world, as well as the heavenly, but in an abstract, decorative approach. With the scale change of smaller elements in the center and larger dots on the edge, there is the implication of folded space that moves from near to distant — with some sensation of being pulled toward a far off place. The metallic background is dusted with gold or pearlescent powder over deep orange, which gives the surface some shimmer and color change. The title, Angel (Little Egypt), comes from the colors that are reminiscent of ancient Egyptian collars...
