"Art & Ecology, Contemplation & Action" , Painting exhibit : "Fight for water's survival"

Why attend
Art as a whistle blower for the living planet. The Elgin gas platform explosion went unnoticed in the medias for 6 months. My 35 paintings show oil spills, mangrove destruction, the bleaching of coral reefs… Associating science with fine arts is a different way to raise consciousness about the urgency of changing our lifestyles.
