OBS Tavira, Portugal, 2024 Posted on April 10, 2024 by pauljungart My anger and frustration at the situation in Palestine has required i say something about the war crimes being committed there I made this in Montreal in late 2019. This is a nice small example of the work that will be included the exhibition in Tavira. The working title of the show is “the waters edge” and wants to explore that idea of our relationship with ourselves, one another, and nature at the waters edge. I have enjoyed looking at media where we see people facing the waters edge. Two influences have been the movie the “Swimmer” with Burt Lancaster … a masterpiece, under acknowledged film about the male psyche and the art of Eric Fishl which is such a visualization of the ideas and mileu of John Updike And me in the amazing OBS studio. It is amazing to be able to work in the space my mentor at the Slade created. What an opportunity!!
