A celebration of childlike wonder and amphibian encounters amidst springtime strolls. The frog-like postures of the onlookers – programmed into their genetic code – mirror that of the creature they behold.
The painting enshrines this small but remarkable act of slowing down and noticing, of communing with the more-than-human world – a defiant repudiation of the culture of hyperindividualistic striving that demands relentless forward motion. To wander aimlessly, to stroll leisurely, to marvel at a frog resting in the dappled shade of an oak tree: these are radical acts.
