Tom Chamber’s ‘The Goatherd’ Entropic Kingdom Series, #13/20. Original Price: $2,400

Design Plus Gallery presents ‘The Goatherd’ from the Entropic Kingdom Series #13/20 by Tom Chambers. You have here a young girl who appears to be reading to a group of goats circling around her. Vibrant with an enhanced sense of romanticism. It is such a display as it marks a harmony between species which as we know is not abundant in this day and time. The animal kingdom and mankind engage in an ongoing dance of co-existence which results in a predictable tension. This tension has escalated with man’s increasing disregard for the fragility of the environment and abdication of his responsibility to care for the earth. One particular issue is global warming which has had a significant impact on all living things. Climate changes will minimally upset and perhaps ultimately destroy ecosystems. As a result, mammals already compete for survival in smaller and smaller spaces, while temperature changes alter migration patterns of fish, birds, and insects. Baldridge symmetry of using the young lady to reflect an era where marked resistance to the natural world is wholly felt with the abandonment of the natural world as we know it. As the young lady may never experience, surrealistically brought forth to display this discord. Is in good condition with minimal wear to its frame or photography.
