Artist Name: Luisa Lyons
Title: Fueling the Flame
Media: Acrylic on Canvas
School: Green Hope High School
Teacher: Ms. Prichard
Inspired by: Thomas Moran, “Fiercely the red sun descending/Burned his way along the heavens”, 1875–1876
Artist Statement: My painting was inspired by Thomas Moran’s Fiercely the red sun descending/Burned his way along the heavens. Moran’s arrangement of colors and texture shows the beauty of the ocean and the way the descending sun’s rays glow throughout the piece. The image I painted was a girl with fire as her hair and the ocean as her skin. The fire and water conflict on the outside of her body, creating smoke in the air. The issue that this painting shows is global warming. In the future, the ocean will swallow the land creating conflict and destruction. This clash is depicted with the use of the fire vs the water. Global warming is a very real issue and can only be slowed with the help of everyone around the world.
