Hic Sunt Leones- "Here There Be Lions"

Here are a few studio shots of work from the series “Hit Sunt Leones”. This is a phrase early cartographers would write on a map where it lay beyond human knowledge and roughly translates to “Here There Be Lions”. I’m drawing from a range of artists here, including early 20th/mid-20th century American & European painters, post-war abstraction, and some literary sources like William Blake & W.S. Merwin. These are slooooow paintings…..
