A Blight On The Landscape
2025
Acrylic on Canvas
26 x 32


A common black plastic garbage bag, set against a lush, verdant landscape, is elevated in significance by a meticulously painted trompe-l'œil gilt wood frame rendered directly onto the canvas. This artistic device suggests a sense of historical importance, challenging perceptions of waste and value. As the second piece in this series of faux-framed paintings, it continues the exploration of how context shapes meaning, prompting viewers to reconsider the impact of human consumption on the natural world.
