Acrylic on canvas
24 × 36 × 2 inches
A familiar image — one we’re used to encountering in black and white — reappears here in color.
Children of the Revolution captures a fleeting, ordinary moment: saddle shoes balancing along a fence rail, oblivious and weightless. The scale enlarges what would otherwise be sentimental. The color interrupts nostalgia. What once felt archival becomes immediate.
The children who wore these shoes grew up to define an era. Their inheritance was postwar idealism; their legacy is - if I’m being polite - still unfolding. The painting does not romanticize that story. It simply holds the moment before consequence — before awareness — before history catches up.
Rendered in saturated greens and charged whites.
