THE LOST MAN
The Lost man has not lost himself; rather it is society that has lost the man. - DR
Contrasting color schemes in “The Lost Man” series are in-tegral to its theme. The pic-tures, which contain their own singular themes, arose from the observation that men have been experiencing alienation, rejection of male values and the gradual erosion of essential mascu-linity for some time.
Each piece portrays a solitary male (figure) who occupies space within the environ-ment and yet appears to exist separate from its reality. Col-ors and abstractions prevail, not lost or faded, but vibrant within his form. Backgrounds rendered in greyish tones, appear remote and out of focus. As with “The Forgotten Woman” series, the vivid figures are the polar oppo-sites of their surroundings.
