BEST IN SHOW
Classification II, by Nadim Touma 48in x48in, oil on canvas Nadim Touma's work speaks to the harsh realities faced by endangered animals. The color choices, composition, lighting choices, and even brushwork come together to create a deeply compelling and masterfully painted work. The artist describes this work as, "A collector's sad exhibition of three endangered owls."
