Artist Statement
“The Radiant Lotus is part of a recent series of my works exploring round compositions. This print is inspired by the symbolism and beauty of the Lotus flower emanating positive energy, rendered with a graphic and geometric style. The Lotus is something beautiful that grows out of the mud. I see the Lotus as a metaphor for what is especially needed in this moment, an effort to lift ourselves out of the mud of political feuding and environmental irresponsibility in pursuit of harmony with each other and the planet. –Shepard Obey Radiant Lotus. 24 x 24 inches. Screen print on thick cream Speckle
