Art for this evening. I still remember the first time I saw this painting in person, at the Getty Villa Museum when I was in college. It’s a large canvas, about 99 × 170 inches, and it was jaw dropping to see this real, enormous painting, that I’d only seen in perhaps Art in Our Times or an art history class slideshow at that point. The seething social commentary still feels so modern, alas.
Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889, by James Ensor, 1888.

James Ensor's etchings of the seven deadly sins stage personal grievances and caricatures through grotesque, Christian symbolism.

ln 2019 I created my own personal and contemporary version of a #wunderkammer or #rariteitenkabinet or #kunstcaemer or #cabinet of #curiosity with enameled Sea Shells inspired by Art history #artreference
My work is all about #biodiversity
The loss of it is hartbreaking to me. My answer is to show how beautiful and precious all life is.
Earth I love you!
