The 20th Century Room
Urban Gleaners
1986, Acrylic on Canvas, 32" x 29"What constitutes Nature's Bounty? Today the answer is Best Buy, the consumer electronics store that now sits in the place this painting shows. Twelve or fifteen years ago it was a bumper crop of blackberries that grew in the shadow of a still standing steel smelter smokestack tucked in the armpit of Interstate 580. This urban setting has a lot of history. Apparently the few points of IQ we lost through ingesting our heavy metal jam haven't hurt us none.
