In Judeo Christian tradition, the Old Testament book of Genesis relates the story of Adam and Eve, in which God Casts Adam and Eve out of the garden for disobedience and tells them “cursed is the ground for thy sake”, and “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread”. Whether the story is myth or history, it serves to highlight the human condition very well. Our basic human tendencies have not changed much from those in ancient records. Like them, we work every day to make a living, seek shelter to protect ourselves from the elements, choose partners, have families, and seek validation and acceptance within our tribe. The paintings in this exhibit attempt to describe the postlapsarian human condition.
