WAVE (1994)
Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48”
Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. It's also a good example of why I am reluctant to say too much about my work. Some people are frightened by it, some view it as peaceful and some are just struck by its abstract qualities. 1/2

However, my intention was to design the wave as a simple exponential curve to visualize the problem of human population growth: “...the power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man.” 2/2 https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/wave/
