Dan Attoe at Peres Projects

In his series Natural Selections, Dan Attoe explores the intimidating vastness of the natural world.  Many of the compositions feature small, detailed figures concerned with their own thoughts inside broad, impressionist landscapes.  The juxtaposition of of the figures and the landscape puts into perspective both the consuming nature of the thoughts expressed by the figures, and the fact that they are too wrapped up in themselves to experience the sublime environment they stand in.
