Cosmic Frog 4" x 6"Prismacolor Colored Pencils on Paper2006Sold

This elaborately detailed drawing is part of my Deep Thinkers series, in which various animals are juxtaposed with evidence of human thought, in the form of mathematical equations, quotes, definitions, musical scores, etc. These pieces depict a zen-like transcendent bridge between conceptual thinking and animalistic consciousness. These two contrasts are united by a careful use of color and decorative design. This piece depicts a frog in front of a series of black hole equations. The edges are decorated with an abstract design reminiscent of Persian miniature paintings. This artwork is entirely hand-drawn using Prismacolor colored pencils.
