ALEXIS KANDRA, Living Fossils, oil and metal foil on wood panel, 36" X 48", 2016
This painting is inspired by ideas of life and extinction. It features a coelacanth fish, the classic idea of a creature once thought to be extinct millions of years ago, only be found alive and unchanged in the present. It also includes a Chinese white dolphin, a creature soon to be extinct as habitat destruction lowers its population. Both are living fossils in this painting.
