Hope Strike Anew - 48X36 Acrylic on Canvas by Hyacinth Paul

Hope Strikes Anew is my painting created for the Columbus Cultural Arts Center - “Ekphrastic Fantastic” Show going on Feb 10 until April 17, 2021. Artists created paintings based on photographs of inspirations provided by the organizers. The blocks of wood, scissors and tools in the photo provided to me was interpreted as the utter blatant disregard of the prior administration in getting out of the Paris Accord. The painting depicts the obliteration of all the work done before. The removal of paint and equipment, scissors and smoke on the left side of the painting depicts the obliteration of the hard work done by prior administrations. “Hope Strikes Anew” as the current administration signed the Paris Accord right away thus restoring great hope for environmental leadership not just for our nation, but for the entire world.

The show has an hour long live tour and my painting is showcased from minutes: 10:24-11:24. 

The Columbus Cultural Arts Center is housed in a very charming building in downtown Columbus. 

100% profits of the sale of this painting and others on this site is dedicated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for the next 16 weeks. I am supporting two candidates from Dayton and Boston for the annual 2021 LLS MWOY (The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Man Woman of the Year) campaign to raise funds for Cancer research.
