Modern History - #16, #17
These are the last two in my series of oil paints depicting significant events or people in the modern world.
On the left, painting #16 symbolically depicts the final tsunami or global financial crisis sweeping across the world starting from the New York Wall Street since September 2008.
Painting #17 on the right depicts the tough efforts by political and financial leaders in many countries trying to save the world from being drown in a sea of recession since September 2008. Economic recoveries are still not certain at the US, Japan and Europe.
These six panels of 17 paintings can form another mini-series. Like the earlier mini-series, this can also be displayed at a semi-formal show.
