Adam & Eve

Acrylic, oil paint on canvas

Scott Kuffner

Scott Kuffner take reference from Gaetano Zumbo's wax models of bubonic plague victims. His anatomical forms now depict casualties of material overconsumption, their agonized figures contorting with dramatic intensity. This evocation of historical sculpture draws parallels between cataclysmic crises of the 14th and 21st centuries to address the precarity of life and the spectacle of calamity.
