Exhibition Text:
Life and death represents death with life and life with death. The never-ending circle of life. Even though death can be nasty, life out weighs it with beauty. My inspiration was Cezanne and a tiny bit of Rembrandt. Cezanne created many still files while he was an artist and Rembrandt did back-lit paintings. I made both the canvases and got the paint from the art room. When people look at this diptych from left to right at first it is somber but as your eye moves over there is joy and vibrancy.
