Indestructible Wonder (2016-2017)
Nathan Redwood depicts landscapes bearing traces of human destruction: scattered debris from former construction sites, barren ground lacerated by trucks, abandoned buildings left to rot. To create Fixed Palm, Redwood photographed his surroundings on trips between his native Phoenix and Los Angeles, where he currently lives. The desolate, smoggy countryside in the photograph for the painting is highlighted by palm trees that have been cut in half. Redwood used watery paint to literally “fix” the trees and make them whole again—an ironic effort to “heal” environmental problems with paint.
