Photo Courtesie of: Franklin Bowles Gallery
Igor Medvedev's work is so fresh to me as a student, that I'm inspired once again to write about his work on display at the Franklin Bowles Gallery in San Francisco. One of the collections, titled Through the Branches, renders the baobab tree in an African desert setting. The baobab has been called the "up side down" tree because the branches resemble a complex system of roots. Medvedev's illustration of the baobab tree is an exploration of the mysterious and bizarre quality of the seemingly unknown natural world. Because the human eyes is not often exposed to seeing what lies beneath the surface of the earth, the baobab opens a door to one of nature's enigmatic creations.
