Description Artist: DubhArtist's inspiration: Evidence of our negative evolution as a nation are demonstrated by recent debates by our leaders as to what constitutes torture, and by our own recent violations of the Geneva Convention. Violations to the rights of privacy that are guaranteed to us in our constitution have been pushed aside by the Patriot Act which was created in an emerging climate of fear that has been enforced and reinforced by our government officials. It seems we have de-evolved to the point that we can no longer claim the title of leaders of a Free World. Gallery: The Evolution of Freedom original painting can be purchased at The Annex Art Space in Ester, Alaska. Painting has been framed and matted.Technique: watercolor layering technique to achieve opacity and detail.
Hardluck Studios, Fairbanks, Alaska Member Since March 2010 Artist Statement Hardluck Studios is located on Hardluck Drive in the Goldstream Valley near Fairbanks, Alaska. We gave up our day jobs in 2007 to create and distribute artwork that inspires individuals to make the world a better place by making small changes in the way they interact with their fellow human beings and environment. Our resident artist, Dubh (pronounced "dove") has a passion for painting images in protest of the oppressions of people that are occurring on a global scale.
