Philip Govedare Oil on canvas

With his latest series of paintings, Seattle artist Philip Govedare pulls the viewer in opposing directions. The works, painted from an aerial perspective, portray landscapes scarred by pit mines and chemical spills. Govedare documents our impact on the planet by pulling us in with rich coloring and meticlous details, then forces us to face the fact of our environmental sins. However, like our relationship with Earth, Govedare’s landscapes are complex and open-ended, provoking more questions than answers.
