Primeval 2020

"Primeval" is a 2020 painting by American artist Jo Baer, depicting a dramatic landscape with a vast, shadowed cliff face. The vibrant greens and blues suggest a lush environment while the stark black opening in the cliff face creates a sense of mystery and depth. The foreground features a snow-covered plain, suggesting a mountainous terrain, and a small figure in the lower right corner adds a human scale to the expansive landscape. The painting evokes a sense of both awe and unease, inviting the viewer to contemplate the vastness and power of nature.
