Certainly, nature and all of its dominion are the central protagonists within Martin Wittfooth's painted world. For the moment, the animal kingdom has re-inherited the earth free of humankind. Mortal artifacts remain, however, re-contextualized and seen in a new symbolic light absent the typical status quo. Predators gain higher ground and nature's pilgrims search for safe respite within the confines of the forsaken landscape.Representational imagery and a variety of inventive themes provide illusion for nature's constancy. Instinctive and purposeful, New York-based oil painter Martin Wittfooth conveys mention of the Masters while sifting through personal revelations, environmental phenomena and socio-political disturbances. Undoubtedly, transcendental-relationships between artist and Mother Earth transform the norm.
