Polar Emergence
(2013)
Subject: Polar Bear Dimensions (inches): 9 x 12 Medium: Graphite and Charcoal Description: The majestic polar bear rises from the water with a longing glance. Its fur is soaking-wet and yields pearls of water drops. Along with other artists who portray wildlife, I have always admired the polar bear, a very popular subject made famous in recent years by Coca-Cola. I wanted to present the polar bear in a unique and fresh way, emerging out of the water in synchronization with the ice. The title 'Polar Emergence' alludes to the fact that there is an emergency in the polar bear's environment, with ice rapidly melting, forcing him to travel further by water for food. As stewards of this earth and its species, I feel that we should each do something to take action. As an artist, through this depiction I would like to motivate people to an appreciation for this strong and beautiful animal that is beloved by so many.
